I am interested in how product design can improve the creativity per capita of the world. By designing for elements deeper than the physical product, I use my empathy, engineering knowledge, and unique perspective of the world to create meaningful product experiences.
My Mission
I believe the best way of motivating learning is through play. I am fascinated with language, pedagogical theory, and how technology and the right tools could help the world unleash more creativity to solve bigger problems as a collective.
I enjoy challenging myself with conversations in Spanish, mountain biking, and discussing ideas. I believe the majority of the answers we seek have already been solved in nature, and an awareness shift is the strongest skill for bringing us to new depth and understanding.
My appreciation of the physical space led me to earn a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Bucknell University in 2015. From my experience as the Lead Design Engineer at Playcraft Systems designing the future of playgrounds, to Lead Mechanical Engineer at FUSE Industrial Design in Portland Oregon, I blend engineering, empathy, and design theory to bring interesting ideas to reality.
