It’s a pleasure to meet you!

With a multidisciplinary background that integrates art, research, and technology, I bring a holistic, human-centered approach that optimizes how we experience products, systems, and environments.

My professional journey started as a Freelance Designer on Upwork, where I worked with a diverse range of clients to craft effective design solutions tailored to their unique needs. Most recently, I interned on the Product Design Team at Brightly Software, a Siemens Company, where I pioneered a new B2B product feature to drive business growth. These experiences have honed my creative process and reinforced the value of collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Outside of design, you will find me at a local café with an iced oat milk latté, taking photos on my Sony a6000, listening to a mix of 70s-90s rock music, or making origami with stacks of paper surrounding the table.

My Design Ethos

Origami has been a lifelong hobby of mine, deeply shaping both my creative pursuits and perspective on life. The principles of this craft resonate throughout all my personal and professional endeavors, grounding and inspiring me in everything that I do.

Fold with Intention

Each origami fold serves a purpose that helps shape the final form. Every design decision should be deliberate, contributing to functionality and aesthetics that resonate with users.

Embrace the Creases

Origami uses the flexibility of paper to adapt its form to create unique models. Great design mirrors this, allowing for responsive feedback and finding solutions within constraints.

Simplicity is Key

Origami relies on the strength of a single sheet of paper, proving that less is always more. Design is no different and should embrace simplicity to create solutions that are elegant and effectively addressing user needs.

Beauty Through Refining

Creating origami isn’t always successful on the first try and is often an iterative process. True beauty and functionality are achieved in design through cycles of prototyping, testing, and iterating.
