I’m a designer who’s happiest in the space where ideas turn into tangible things; whether that’s an architectural concept, a market-ready product, or a lamp that goes from sketch to a stack of 30 outgoing orders on my dining table. My background in architecture taught me to obsess over human experience, clarity, and craft; my work in product and digital design sharpened my speed, curiosity, and willingness to rethink the way things get made.
Entrepreneurial by nature, I’ve built products featured in major publications, navigated makers markets, and worked across teams to deliver thoughtful, detail-minded work. I show up eager, thorough, and relentlessly motivated to elevate the work around me. I thrive in collaborative environments where communication is clear, problem-solving is constant, and iteration is the norm.
