About

I am a college student majoring in Industrial Design with a focus on product design. I have been recognized on the Dean’s List for academic excellence and am continuing to build a strong design portfolio. My skills include sketching, problem-solving, and working with design software such as Adobe programs, Fusion 360, and Blender. I am especially interested in how design shapes emotional experience and everyday interaction with objects. My background in creative writing and poetry influences the way I approach meaning, detail, and narrative in design. I hope to develop work that is both functional and emotionally intentional, centered on thoughtful innovation. In the future, I hope to work in product design within companies such as Apple, Sony, or PlayStation, where I can contribute to creating meaningful and well-crafted user experiences.
