About Me
I’m an industrial designer with a portfolio spanning exhibitions, interiors, furniture and transportation, looking to develop further in the field of spatial design. My work is driven by a passion for transforming the status quo, utilizing the industrial design skillset as a tool for innovative solutions. This passion is supported by a disciplined process and an emphasis on time management, enabling wide exploration while leaving room to thoughtfully refine each design. When I step away from the studio, you can find me running the streets of Brooklyn or experimenting with new recipes in my modestly-sized NY kitchen.
