Info

I am an industrial designer currently in my senior year of study at Western Washington University, where I am also minoring in sustainable design and development. I am a creative at heart, a go-getter, a community leader and I thrive when trying new things. I like to use design as a tool to communicate, but also collaborate. Working in team based environments with generalists from all backgrounds, my work spans from process-heavy industrial design and branding strategy to thoughtful service design with emphasis on sustainability and user connection. Each project is a new adventure, and I pour my heart into creating something unique and impactful every time.

I am passionate about equitable and inclusive design. Not only in the context of industrial design, but within life and the human experience. When I'm not working toward project deadlines, you can find me exploring the waterfront by bike, seeking out the best matcha latte in town, or indulging in my various creative hobbies.


Feel free to explore my portfolio! If something catches your eye, I’d love to connect. I’m always eager to collaborate and take on new creative challenges.
