About Me:

Ever since I can remember, I've been taking apart and tinkering with any object I could get my hands on. I feel very lucky to find Industrial Design as my creative outlet.

I was born-and-raised in California and trained in Silicon Valley and Paris, France. Previous job experiences range from designing connected light bulbs for GE to developing an all-terrain vehicle for the US Government. Currently living and working in NYC with a focus on designing consumer electronics.
