Chanel went from fashion to full-stack with the ambitions to combine both fields and change the game. Gripping onto her core values of sustainability and ethical trade, she has a goal to eliminate the human and environmental exploitation caused by the hyper-consumerism of clothing. While changing industries, the California native also changed residences, embarking on her dev journey in Berlin — a burgeoning fashion and tech-hub. There she works as a full-stack dev, exploring what it means to be a junior with an unconventional background and diverse perspective in the tech industry.
