I've always loved to make, whether that's drawings, stop-motion animations, woven bracelets, or any other miscellaneous crafts. It wasn't until my senior year of high school, when I was at the crossroads of pursuing architecture or animation, that I found industrial design. I wanted a career that blended purpose and creativity; industrial design was just that.

When I'm not designing, you might find me at the gym, a thrift store, knitting, or just catching up on my favorite shows.
