I am an industrial designer and photographer who believes the most successful products are designed with intention and embrace authentic materials, because things made well are things worth keeping. This conviction shapes how I think about sustainability; quality and craft are what keep products in use and out of landfills. At the Parsons School of Design, I put these beliefs into practice through hands-on experience in CAD modeling, rendering, and 3D prototyping. In my 8+ years running a freelance photography and videography business, I have sharpened my understanding of visual balance and client communication, ultimately learning that empathy and kindness are at the center of successful collaboration. At my core, I am deeply curious. Whether exploring specialty coffee, building by hand, or traveling to over 48 US states and 46 countries, I love to understand how things work and how people live.
