About Hillary K. Grigonis

What was your first phone?

I typed out texts on a flip phone for longer than I should have before I finally bought my first iPhone. As a longtime Mac user, the iPhone-Android debate wasn't even a question for me.

When did your interested in technology begin?

My interest in technology developed somewhere between playing Oregon Trail on my dad's MS-DOS computer and attempting to beat my cousins at Super Mario. That interest has evolved over the years, from learning Photoshop as the high school yearbook editor to investing in any smart home device that makes life as a parent just a bit easier.

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

Phones, wearables, and headphones.
