Resume

I dream of an equitable, sustainable future. Let's build it together, one design at a time.

Diverse education, global experience, and cross-disciplinary practice give me a rare ability to see problems from multiple perspectives and design solutions for a world in transition. I love understanding complex, messy challenges within an ecosystem and turning them into clear, human-centered outcomes. I thrive combining skills across fields and reflective research to tenaciously move ideas from concept to reality.

Whether in a classroom, a research lab, or a design studio, I always show up as a collaborative, adaptive, insightful, and intentional contributor striving for high-quality outcomes and focused on adding value to every team I join.
