I design with strength of vision, shaped by context. I aim to bring simplicity to complexity in a rapidly changing and chaotic society, in a way that remains economically viable for all. I use my acumen in varying fields in and out of design to form a holistic approach that deeply considers both people and planet. My practice spans industrial design, graphic design, and web design, with hands-on prototyping, CMF, digital fabrication, and collaboration with engineers and technicians.
