A Bit About Me
I am an energetic and passionate designer who always strives to create fun and efficient products. Growing up playing sports, I am a competitor at heart and have a desire to succeed, whether it be on the field or in the design studio. My journey towards becoming a designer began when I started taking classes that taught the design thinking process and allowed me to work on projects in high school. Since my first project, I have fallen in love with the design process. My favorite part of this process is visualization, using renderings and animations.
Outside of the studio
Outside of design, I try to spend my time outdoors exploring nature, coaching soccer, and hanging out with friends. I have hiked all over my home state of Washington and love exploring alpine lakes and Mount Rainier National Park. I enjoy watching and playing a variety of sports, with soccer being at the top of that list.
