SENIOR INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER AT IDEO
"Designs whose purpose is to [solely] beautify the world, will not survive” 🌱
With over 7 years of experience as a senior industrial designer, I'm passionate about solving complex problems with creative thinking and crafting innovative, nature-inspired products that connect with people. I love leading projects and collaborating with teams, focusing on the emotional impact of design and understanding what compels someone to be drawn to an item and pick it up.
Formerly, I was at OXO in NYC, where I helped launch over 13 products. I have experience in diverse design fields outside of traditional industrial design, including UX/UI, service design, and illustration design.
Throughout the year, I dedicate my time to mentoring industrial design students and conducting portfolio reviews at universities, conferences, and online. I am particularly passionate about supporting women entering the industrial design field and am committed to helping them succeed.
Outside of work, I enjoy running, painting, diving into sci-fi and psychology books, playing tennis, and anything related to the ocean. I also love making 3D-printed gifts, exploring new materials, generative AI, and am currently learning to animate in Blender.
