I'm an industrial designer currently studying at the College for Creative Studies, driven by a passion for problem-solving, innovation, and bringing ideas to life. As a lifelong maker, I thrive on the hands-on process of transforming concepts into tangible, functional designs. Whether it's model making, building replica props, designing furniture, or creating solutions to improve everyday life, I find joy in creating.
My work is fueled by curiosity, learning about the world, exploring new materials and processes, and refining my approach to design. I’m excited to continue honing my skills, pushing creative boundaries, and developing solutions that are both meaningful and impactful.
Let's build something great together.
Passions outside of design
Mechanical Obsession
Over the past six years, I’ve tackled nearly every automotive project imaginable, from full engine rebuilds and custom engine builds to complete rewiring, EFI tuning, rust repair, and engine swaps. My love for Japanese domestic market cars (cars never sold in the us) has presented its own challenges, limited documentation, scarce parts, and little factory support. Overcoming these obstacles has made me resourceful. I’ve built a global network of connections to source parts and technical information, working with enthusiasts, drivers, and engineers from Japan, Australia, Ukraine, Canada, and beyond. This experience has not only deepened my mechanical knowledge but has also broadened my perspective on collaboration and problem-solving across cultures.
Competitive Spirit
I started sailing competitively in high school, and it quickly became a defining part of my life. The sport captivated me both physically and intellectually. The visceral sensation of harnessing the wind’s power felt like flying, while the mechanics and strategy of racing kept me constantly learning. I founded my high school sailing team, growing it to compete at a national level, and later became a coach, working with sailors of all ages. Transitioning from dinghies to big boats taught me the true importance of teamwork. On a large keelboat, nothing works without coordination and constant communication. For the past four years, I’ve raced on TimeMachine, competing in national and regional championships and twice in the Port Huron to Mackinac Race. Sailing has shaped my approach to problem-solving, leadership, and collaboration, skills that extend far beyond the water.
