I’m an industrial designer with a passion for turning ideas into thoughtful, functional, and visually compelling products. I work across both digital and traditional design workflows, using tools like SolidWorks, SolidWorks Visualize, the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), and Autodesk SketchBook Pro. I am skilled at producing detailed CAD models, high-quality renderings, product ideation, and prototype fabrication. I bring a strong sense of form, user empathy, design intent, and attention to detail to every stage of the design process. I’m always looking to further develop my skills, and I’m excited to be part of creative, collaborative teams where user-centered design and inspired creativity are valued.
