About

I am an Industrial Design senior student at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

I am actively seeking internships with companies that share my passion for design empathy and relevance. As an idealist, I embrace change; understanding that with it comes risk, but also innovation. I hope to work with, and learn from a great team of creatives in the coming months who share my confidence and passion for the future of design.
