Hello!
Born and raised just outside Cleveland, OH, I now reside in the DMV area. As a designer, I am passionate about creating and storytelling. While I consider myself a problem solver at heart, I thrive on 2D visualization. My design approach focuses on addressing challenges while crafting meaningful products that inspire users. I aim to develop narratives that encourage curiosity and creativity.
My Design Story
I am passionate about the dynamic and challenging phases of design, thriving particularly in the ideation and conceptualization stages. I love the opportunity to tackle complex problems head-on. My process begins with a flurry of questions that prompt me to dive into sketching, planning, and extensive research to craft innovative solutions.
With each design, I seek to understand the "why" behind the problem, exploring not just how to solve it, but why it needs solving in the first place.
​
As a design thinker at heart and a visual artist driven by a passion for creation, I have a strong affinity for storytelling and enhancing user experience. I design with the intent to create meaningful experiences that inspire users while ensuring functionality. My goal is to nurture the natural curiosity and creativity that exists in everyone.
I embrace the versatility of industrial design, recognizing opportunities across diverse sectors. I am particularly drawn to outdoor active sports gear, especially hard goods, as well as consumer electronics and environmental and space design. Ultimately, I aim to solve problems and inspire users, regardless of the product.
​
Eager to expand my knowledge in all facets of industrial design, I approach each project with enthusiasm and a commitment to continuous learning. When I'm not immersed in design, you can find me lifting weights, engrossed in a fantasy novel, sketching, relaxing in a hammock, socializing, or playing video games. As a proud member and competitor in the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF), I bring a competitive spirit to both work and play. And of course, I am an avid aficionado of Legos!
