About
I’m an industrial designer who draws inspiration from an active lifestyle, the pursuit of problem solving, and a passion for aesthetic harmony. The fuel of my design process is to create products that both grab us with their visual impact, yet also feel as if they disappear while they’re in use.
My vision is to design useful objects, that inspire others to lose themselves in their favorite activities. Through my own creative path and collaboration, I seek to build objects that make the world a better place. -
