I believe wonder is one of the most potent medicines for daily life. It is key to community, environment, and product design, and I am always working to uplift it in my design practice. Personally, I find it through storytelling and hands-on detail work.

My background in community theatre is key to how I approach this user connection. How can the awe of a curtain rising transfer to our daily rituals? Whether the outcome is props on a set, wearables on the street, or furniture in a home, I want to infuse it with playful, animate energy. My process is grounded in meticulous research and project management as a counter-balance to messy, explorative prototyping. I apply skills in various mediums, including textiles, woodworking, model making, 3D printing, and the fine arts, to approach challenges visually.

Above all, I am driven by collaboration and contributing positively to my communities. I am eager for opportunities to continue growing my skills and learning from talented people!

Out of my practice, I find inspiration with lots of tea, yoga, and adventuring with friends.
