ABOUT ME
My design practice starts with research. I gather evidence through field studies, interviews, prototyping, and testing, then map what I find until the right solution becomes clear. Working across automotive, architectural manufacturing, and consumer brands at Hyundai, Amuneal, and PepsiCo has taught me to let evidence guide every decision, from strategy to final form.
I grew up in New Jersey painting and drawing the natural world, and now study industrial design at RISD in Providence, RI. I fell in love with industrial design when I discovered how great it feels to make something that not only looks good but also solves a problem. Combining my two practices taught me that nature shapes design just as powerfully as it shapes art. Nature has already solved more problems than any brief ever will, if you're willing to look.
