Nature is king and queen. You can find me hiking, climbing, or exploring somewhere new most weekends. Keeping active is huge for me, and I enjoy all types of athletics, particularly soccer and freestyle skiing. My brain gets good exercise, too; I’m always pushing myself to be more creative. I’m a trained designer and artist but also like to make music. It’s easy to think of a piece of music as a “design problem” and solve it analytically, but I prefer to treat it as an art form and let what I feel inform the sound more than anything else. I’ve found that using this sort of thinking sprinkled throughout my design process has been increasingly beneficial in my work. It allows me to create things that feel more human, and foster an emotional connection between the product/service and user. I’ll be graduating from RIT in May 2020 with a BFA in Industrial Design. I’m currently seeking a full-time position anywhere in the world. If you’re interested check out some of my projects and get in touch!
