// about me
// about me
I design experiences that move fluidly between hardware, software, and intelligent systems.
My industrial design background taught me to design with constraints, context, and real-world use in mind. I bring that lens and rigor into digital and AI products, shaping experiences that influence how people decide, trust, and stay in control.

Where Craft Started
Before I knew design was a career, basketball shoes sparked my curiosity for how objects are built, how they perform, and how they express identity. Since I could not afford the signature shoes I admired, I began drawing my own concepts, studying materials, structure, silhouettes, and function. This kickstarted my love for crafting and making things with purpose.

Building My Design Foundation
At the University of Illinois at Chicago, I discovered Industrial Design and connected with its focus on everyday objects people use and depend on. It was where I built my foundation in human-centered design, learned to trust the process, and began translating ideas into concrete solutions.

Design, Business, and Everything in Between
At KeySmart, I joined as a Founding Designer and helped build the design function from the ground up. Over nearly seven years, I designed and shipped 100+ products, strengthening my ability to balance user needs, business goals, and manufacturing realities while working across cross-functional teams.

Choosing Craft Over Comfort
Wanting to return to more research-driven, craft-intensive product design, I moved from Chicago to Charlotte to join Apex Tool Group, where I worked on professional tools for construction and utility workers. This experience deepened my craft across ergonomics, durability, safety, and performance while strengthening my ability to collaborate across larger, more complex teams, eventually helping me grow into a Principal Industrial Designer.

Designing Toward the Future
I have always been interested in designing across hardware and software. With the emergence of AI, I decided to build on my industrial design foundation through HCI, digital product design, and human-AI interaction by enrolling in the University of Washington’s MHCI+D program. I am now focused on creating responsible, human-centered experiences across hardware, software, and AI.
