I am a New York–based industrial designer working at the intersection of consumer products, material exploration, and sustainability-driven design. My practice bridges professional work, research, and education, with a focus on creating thoughtful, scalable solutions that improve everyday life while responding to environmental responsibility.

​

I hold an MFA in Industrial Design from Parsons School of Design, where I cultivated a strong interest in sustainability, material innovation, and community-driven design. My work begins by identifying real-world needs and exploring where practicality and desire intersect, resulting in products that challenge conventional typologies while remaining grounded in usability and production realities.

​

As the founder of Le Motif Design Studio, I lead a research-driven practice exploring biomaterial approaches through home products, emphasizing material experimentation, clarity of form, and responsible design thinking.

​

I currently teach industrial design at Pratt Institute and Wesleyan University, guiding students through research, prototyping, and critical design processes rooted in real-world constraints.
