Design begins with understanding


I am an Industrial Designer with an Information Systems background. I see products not as isolated objects, but as part of the interdependent relationships between people, environments, and the systems they move through. These selected works explore that idea across three scales: The Object, The Network, and The Process.

Miscellaneous Works

More work showcasing fabrication methods, rapid prototyping, and multidisciplinary projects.

About me

What I do

I turn data and research into tangible objects designing consumer products and systems that make complex things approachable.

My background

I bridge two worlds: a foundation in information systems and data, and a Master of Industrial Design from Pratt where my work has been exhibited at NYCxDesign and published academically. Recipient of Pratt's Outstanding Merit Award in the Master of Industrial Design Program

My approach

I design through play.

A modular, data-informed process keeps my work rigorous; a sense of curiosity keeps it human.
