About

I am a New York–based industrial designer, researcher, and educator working across professional design practice, independent projects, and research.

My work explores how objects and materials relate to everyday life, with interests in material culture, sustainability, accessibility, and wellbeing. I draw from professional design experience, interdisciplinary research, cultural traditions, and material experimentation to develop products and projects for a range of contexts and communities.

I teach industrial design at Pratt Institute, where I guide students through research, experimentation, prototyping, and iterative design practice.

If you’re interested in collaborating or would like to connect, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat.
