A bit about me...

I'm a current senior majoring in industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I am based in Sterling, Virginia and my most recent undertakings include studying abroad in Japan and taking the MITxRISD Product Design and Development course.

My interest in industrial design began because of the endless opportunities this field offers. Since I was young, I’ve always been curious and creative, constantly seeking ways to challenge myself and explore new ideas.

As a designer, I hope to challenge the status quo and create meaningful and lasting experiences through what I create. When I'm not working, you can find me snuggled up with a good book or binging the latest HBO hit show.

Values

Keep an open mind!
Always approach design with curiosity and an open mind!
Expect the unexpected...
I thrive on the unexpected, seeing it as a chance to discover hidden opportunities.
Empathetic design = Good Design
By understanding the needs, emotions, and perspectives of others, I hope to make a meaningful impact.
