About Me
I currently live in Los Angeles, CA, where I am a women's apparel designer. I am a lover of reading (I read 100 books last year!), hiking, traveling, and cats (mine is named Howl 🐈⬛).
I graduated from Georgia Tech’s School of Industrial Design (gooo jackets 🐝), where I was exposed to a wide range of design disciplines—from product and furniture design to UX and graphic design. My time at Georgia Tech shaped how I approach every project: remaining adaptable, collaborative, and focused on both form and function.
