For Chloe Park, design lead at Lyft’s bikes and scooters division, tech wasn’t always in the cards for her. Instead, journalism and a career in media were always top of mind for Park, first as an extracurricular activity in high school, then as a major in visual journalism in college.
After graduation, Park joined USA Today at a time when the future of media was murky. But after a casual visit to see friends in San Francisco, she ended up taking a “leap of faith,” moving to the Bay Area and joining a design consultancy called Curio.
“It was the best way to jump into the tech scene because it provided such a quick overview,” Park said.
Park moved to San Francisco in 2012 at a time when Silicon Valley was bright and full of startups all clamoring to become the next Google or Facebook of the world.
