I’ve been fascinated with creating things for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would cut up cardboard to make phones, keyboards, and gadgets, not just for fun but to imagine how they might really work. That curiosity eventually grew into a passion for product design. I started out studying Creative Technology and Design at CU Boulder, but I realized I was more drawn to the physical side of making—shaping products people could actually hold and use. That led me to pursue Industrial Design at MSU Denver, where I’ve had the chance to explore everything from soft goods to furniture and interactive products. For me, design is about bringing ideas to life in ways that are both functional and unique.
