About
As an industrial designer, I aim to create meaningful solutions that consider the human experience with an empathetic and intuitive approach to design.
Whether it is enriching existing products and interactions or creating new ones, I believe that the best experiences are created at the confluence of carefully considered form, functionality, materiality, and processes.
