About Me
As I continue my design journey, I like to think of my progress as one big learning experience that continuously grows with each project and collaboration. With a dedication to functionality and a curiosity for what’s ahead of the curve, I keep my work practical, thoughtful, and creative.
​
I take every experience as a learning opportunity whether it is experimenting with garment making for the first time at Fashion at Brown, planning the operations of a hybrid online and in-person conference for Better World By Design, or spending my free time leading and competing in NASA Design challenges..
