/ ASSOCIATE DESIGNER OF AIR JORDAN ACCESSORIES AT HADDAD BRANDS (NYC)

"I am a curious designer, striving to consistently grow in being ever multifaceted, seeking expression through creation, designing with intent and heart to translate feelings through tangibility.

I draw from within and throughout, to inform the substance of my design, and continue the cycle of making and impacting, through better and better iterations of thought and its manifestation, piece by piece, object by object to guide my creative purpose-seeking process."

FROM THE START

My love for industrial design was formed by a culmination of my other interests. Though I had been drawing since I could hold a crayon, until my second year of high school, I was set on becoming a pilot. I have always been fascinated by the design of planes and the way they fly. I had a change of heart after some training flights and realized my real calling was in art.

Beyond aviation, I dedicate myself to photography, travel, and studying interests in geopolitics and world cultures. These passions help shape my creative language and influence my approach to design from idea to future ideas.
