About Me
I am currently a graduate from the Product Design program at Western Michigan University.
As a designer, I like to dance the line between aesthetics and practicality. I am passionate about designing not only user focused and creative solutions, but also discovering the different ways I can add beauty and emotion into products. I firmly believe in research and collaboration, as I am always striving to learn more through myself and others. I enjoy challenges, growing my knowledge
and skills in the process.
