Mechanical engineering and Product Design student
Mechanical engineering, co-designed with real users, with awareness of environmental and social sustainability. Working in a start-up environment at Olin College, trained in hands-on engineering and user-centered product design, I've plunged myself into entrepreneurship, engineering, and design. Founding projects, creating solutions, managing teams. I love it all.
