About
i enjoy many things like fashion, traveling, my family and friends, being outside, creating beautiful things, art and industrial design. the most important thing, though, is being true and doing my best to benefit the world. i want to look and find real problems so that i can solve them in an elegant and functional way. i am going to do that by investigating how people interact with objects and how those objects impact their environment.
