I hope to be a part of an idea-driven environment that helps people find meaning in the products they use.

I’m a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelor of Design Degree in Industrial Design. I love coconut water and inanimate objects.

Design Philosophy
Philosophy-Inspired
Formal philosophy - inspired design–integration of epistemology, axiology, logic & metaphysics
Experimental
Experimental design – in the paths of design-greats like Marc Newson, Frank Gehry, Steven Haulenbeek & Sebastian Brajkovic – a playful transference of ideas from medium to medium
Experiential
Experiential design – bringing the consumer to a place of discovery of a sacred space
With these three core design approaches I hope to help build a creative environment in which ideas–those of others and my own–manifest in products that bring innovation to the consumer.
