About

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

My work explores the relationships between objects, materials, and everyday life, with a focus on material culture, sustainability, accessibility, and wellbeing. Drawing on design experience, cultural traditions, and material experimentation, I develop products and research-driven projects that respond to human needs and lived experiences.

I teach industrial design at Pratt Institute, guiding students through research, experimentation, prototyping, and iterative design processes.

I welcome opportunities for collaboration, research, and creative exchange. Feel free to get in touch.
