Growing up playing basketball and doing sculpture art in high school, I always enjoyed the hands-on experience. Industrial Design allowed me to combine my love for imaginative thinking with tactile creation.

As a designer, I focus on telling stories through form and functionality. I strive to incorporate new techniques with traditional methods of making, exploring concepts physically to discover opportunities that balance function and aesthetics. Whether I’m designing electronics, footwear, wearables, or home goods, I find inspiration in my user’s day-to-day experiences, creating products that elevate and enrich the user’s lifestyle.
