Hi & Welcome.

Currently I am a fifth year industrial design and marketing student at the Univeristy of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. In Fall 2023, I studied interactive environments at TU Delft in the Netherlands. As a designer, I am fascinated with branding space & objects with a deep love for strategic research and community building.

My fascination is rooted in making our experiences brighter and more connected. Whether it be adding a special moment with an object in space, giving life to a brand, or connecting the digital to physical realm, I love to shape it’s intential magic. With a background in research, I believe each project is elevated with a strong purpose. With my experience in product and spatial design, I believe it is important to remain grounded in our physical practices. Curating an elevated and beautiful existence.

As a creative and a human I strive to always be growing outside my comfort zone, contributing to a colorful life, consistent pursuit of authenicity, and adding spice (especially with some yuzu hot sauce). Considering both tangible and psychic factors. 

Beyond design you can find me sipping large cups of tea,  photographing faded sunsets, belly laughing, listening to almost too much of The Japanese House, and enjoying good eats with family & friends.
