ABOUT ME

Curiosity has always driven me as a creative – I’ve always been passionate about experimenting and learning about how things are made. I originally studied Chemical Engineering then transitioned to one of Northwestern’s newest degree programs (MaDE) that focuses on manufacturing, design engineering and product development. I followed my degree in Engineering with another degree in Product Design from Art Center College of Design. Since graduating in 2014, I’ve spent my design career in consumer tech, first at HTC and then at Snap Inc. as a Color, Material and Finish (CMF) specialist, but my study away experience and internships gave me glimpses into other industries which ultimately helped round out my CMF exposure and knowledge. This site showcases over ten years of my production and conceptual work, ranging from 1-week long workshops, to multi-year programs. As of 2022, I have been pursuing my newfound passion for wine, but I’ll always have that curiosity for design thinking and for making and hope to weave wine and design together one day.
