I am a recent graduate of the Industrial Design program at Carnegie Mellon University.

Many of my projects deal with unconventional analog experiences and interactions - especially through softgoods and apparel - coming from the idea that people now value experiences more so than materials.

I am also interested in critical design and design fiction.
