I found a love for conducting research and designing systems while challenging the boundaries within my very product-oriented degree, Industrial Design. An absence here led me to pursue spaces that emphasize relationship building and information gathering. I am endlessly excited by the power of communication – whether it’s curriculum design for middle-schoolers, expression through movement, or the translation of designs into functional specifications. I am drawn to spaces that prioritize ethical and participatory practices and I seek to better understand a balance between the role of a designer (the decision-maker) and a facilitator (one who empowers).
Professionally, I’m currently
