I'm a product designer with a uniquely interdisciplinary background spanning chemistry, mechanical engineering, and sculpture.

​

After graduating from Santa Clara University with a degree in Chemistry and minors in mechanical engineering and sculpture, I began my professional journey in 2021 working in an R&D lab focused on CO2 capture reactions for cementitious materials. While the scientific work was challenging, I found myself missing the creative edge that had always driven me, which led me to pursue my current Master's in Creative Technology and Design at CU Boulder.

​

My passion lies in industrial design, specifically product design where I can obsess over small details and create durable, high-quality products that stand the test of time. I believe my unusual cross-disciplinary background has given me a distinct perspective—look at unusual things with unusual eyes—allowing me to approach design challenges from multiple angles and collaborate effectively with diverse teams.

​

Through my master's program, I've significantly enhanced my coding abilities and time management skills, while discovering new interests in physical computing and computational fabrication. I particularly enjoy integrating physical computing elements into artistic projects, bringing a unique technological dimension to creative work.

This portfolio showcases current course projects from my academic journey at CU Boulder, demonstrating my evolution as a designer and my commitment to excellence in product design. Each project represents not just a class assignment, but a step toward my goal of creating thoughtful, durable products that enhance people's lives.
