A bit about me...

I'm a junior 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 interests in industrial design began because of the vast amount of opportunities this field provided. I was always fascinated by how fields such as engineering, sociology, human psychology, and business converge to create the most innovative and creative experiences.

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, always ready to adapt and explore new possibilities.
Expect the unexpected...
I thrive on the unexpected, seeing it as a chance to discover hidden opportunities and push boundaries.
Empathetic design = Good Design
By understanding the needs, emotions, and perspectives of others, I create solutions that I hope make a meaningful impact.
