{About Me}
I’m studying Industrial Design at Auburn University and I'm graduating in May with a minor in business! I specialize in branding, product design, UI/UX, graphic design, and industrial design,. Shaped by experiences such as studying abroad in Japan, interning with Tennibot, and working in multiple sponsored studios with industry partners.
Outside of design, I enjoy exploring creative interests like junk journaling, custom keyboard building, fashion, photography, and high-fi audio.
