I'm currently a Product and Furniture Design student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, graduating in 2028. I have a strong passion for the entire design process—from researching and iterating to refining ideas, I enjoy transforming concepts into tangible products.

 

My work is grounded in human-centered design, with a focus on functionality, material exploration, and longevity. I am interested in how thoughtful construction and intentional decision-making create meaningful, lasting user experiences.

 

My process begins by asking “Why?” to clearly define the purpose and problem behind each project. From there, I research precedents, context, and user needs, translating insights into rapid ideation through sketching, CAD modeling, and prototyping. Iteration and testing are central to my approach, allowing me to refine details and ensure clarity in both function and form.

 

Collaboration has strengthened my ability to think critically and communicate visually through sketches, research documentation, and renderings. I see design as a form of problem-solving that demands accountability, precision, and adaptability.

 

Accessibility and longevity thinking guide my material choices and production strategies. As I continue developing professionally, I aim to contribute to a design studio that values experimentation, responsible making, and thoughtful innovation—creating products that integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
