"As long as people have hands, some will try to use them carefully, attentively, and with passion. The theater of skill will never become obsolete. Count on it."

About Me




Welcome to my website!

I am a fourth year Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati with an interest in furniture, lighting, sustainability, and functional art. 

My goal is to improve the lives of others not only through the health of the earth, but through a healthy state of mind. Incorporating these values into my designs is what makes me passionate and excited to see it through to the end.

I love spending time outdoors and exploring new places. You can often find me snowboarding, rock climbing, crocheting, or trying out any new activity I can get my hands on. I have visited or lived in 7 countries in the past year. I am a firm believer in living life to the fullest because new experiences inspire unique design.
