About Me

I am a dynamic and versatile designer with a passion for sustainability, innovation, and holistic living. My expertise spans computer-aided design, physical fabrication, sustainable practices, and business operations, enabling me to lead projects from concept to execution. Whether collaborating with manufacturers, managing client relationships, or delivering innovative, market-driven solutions, I bring a blend of technical skill, creativity, and a deep understanding of market trends and customer needs.

Growing up in Buffalo, NY, I was immersed in my parents’ local retail stores and organic restaurant/raw juice bars, where I cultivated a lifelong love for healthy living, integrated design, and problem-solving. These early experiences inspired my passion for creating impactful, sustainable solutions.

My journey continued in New York City, where I studied at Parsons School of Design and thrived in its vibrant, fast-paced environment. Being surrounded by the city’s dynamic design culture enriched my perspective and sharpened my skills. I graduated with departmental honors from Parsons' Product Design program. During my time there, I co-won the MOROCCANOIL Sustainable Packaging Contest for a circular packaging design and reuse system. My senior thesis project, focused on urban composting, earned the Sustainable Vision Award for its innovative use of sustainable materials and socially responsible practices.

Beyond design, I am a Lagree fitness instructor, blending my passion for movement and motivation to foster teamwork, engagement, and goal achievement among clients. As an advocate for the environment, an enthusiastic vegan, and a fitness fanatic, I am committed to living in alignment with my values and inspiring others to do the same.

Let’s collaborate to bring innovative, sustainable designs to life!
