I am a visuo-spatial problem solver with a background in interior architecture and industrial design, experienced in producing for the commercial hospitality sector, including cafeterias, coffee shops, retail stores, and food carts for multiple zoos and aquariums across the United States.
Currently, I work as an experiential graphic designer and design entrepreneur, consulting for clients in the aviation, commercial, and residential industries. Passionate about thoughtful design and humanitarian work, I also volunteer with immigrants and refugees, bringing empathy and purpose into every project I take on.
My goal is to empower individuals and enhance wellbeing by designing spaces and creating products rooted in sustainability, mental wellness, and the principles of human-centered design.
