As a designer, I’m a generalist with an interest in strategy

I’m currently pursuing my M.S. in Engineering Design Innovation at Northwestern University, and my undergraduate background is in Neuroscience and Journalism. A curiosity about human behavior and effective communication guide me in my design process.

Right now, I’m building a mobile application that makes it easier for creatives to capture their ideas and fleeting thoughts, wherever they are.

Last year, I co-directed the music festival Dillo Day, and it taught me a lot about solving complex challenges and improving systems at scale.

I thrive in multidisciplinary teams and love bringing structure to ambitious ideas. Lately, I’ve been winding down with ceramics and reading.
