What Design Means to Me

Hello! I am a fourth year student at Arizona State University studying Industrial Design with a minor in Sustainability. 

From studio work to personal design challenges, I've had the opportunity to flourish as a designer.

​

My passion in design stems from the ability to help others be the best they can be. I don't want to only design products, I want to design experiences and tools to overcome hard tasks. With this said I hope to one day be on a design team for mobility aid devices, or specifically working with amputees in the prosthetics industry.

​

I am also passionate about sustainability, and would love to create minimal waste in the design and manufacturing processes. The world deserves better and designers can promote change.
