I am a graduate of the University of Oregon's Product Design program, where I developed a passion for creating products that not only meet functional needs but also positively impact society. My work focuses on thoughtful design solutions that encourage sustainable habits, simplify daily life, and promote a zero-waste lifestyle. This commitment to innovation and social good drives everything I do.
​
With experience in both product and graphic design, I am currently seeking opportunities to apply my skills in branding, digital and print design, and product development in a professional setting. Whether it’s refining a brand’s visual identity, developing innovative prototypes, or supporting a team with creative problem-solving, I am excited to contribute to a dynamic design environment.
​
Here’s how I can add value:
-
Refine and elevate brand aesthetics through strategic use of color, typography, and logo design.
-
Conduct comprehensive market research to inform product development and prototype creation.
-
Utilize a range of materials, from metal and wood to plastic, to craft unique, functional designs.
-
Leverage advanced CAD software to create and simulate product concepts with precision.
-
Bring a resourceful, positive, and collaborative spirit to any project, ensuring seamless teamwork and innovation.
​
For me, design is a way to tell meaningful stories and create lasting connections between products and people. Whether analog or digital, creating something that improves lives fuels my passion for design, and I look forward to helping your brand do the same.
