Bettsina Walkinson

Hello World

I’m Bettsina 👋🏼, I was born and raised in Mexico, moved to Canada for grad school, and stayed for 12 years. These days, I live in the UK.

My path into design has been anything but linear: I’ve explored everything from installation art and animation, to product design and entrepreneurship.

Beyond work, I’m deeply into music, I play the piano and dabble in electronic music.

I also spent a good chunk of time as a digital nomad, although these days I’m a bit more grounded, and my adventures often take place in World of Warcraft.
