About
I am currently an MFA student studying industrial design. My thesis project has evolved from amphibious camping to floating fire, with the intent on facilitating a campfire experience on the water.
I chose to study industrial design after my undergraduate degree because I wanted to gain a background in the more creative aspects of design to complement the technical design skills I learned from being an engineering student.
