I am an Industrial Designer with a background in manufacturing and engineering. I have always had a passion for understanding how things are made, which manifested itself in a career in process engineering. While working full-time, I launched bisc pottery - a small, hand-made ceramic business. I started craving creativity more and more, leading me to pursue a Master's in Industrial Design to combine my love for research, technology, and design.
I would love to chat with you and your team about my experiences. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

During my time at SKC Inc. I worked as the lead process and quality engineer for all of our shrinkable PETc and PETg films. I collaborated with large brand names, including Coca-Cola and Gatorade, performed large-scale data analysis to optimize our process, managed trial products, and collaborated with various departments on side projects.
After working as an engineer for a year, I was desperate for a creative outlet and began taking pottery classes. The hobby quickly turned to an obsession and I opened bisc pottery. I have sold over 150 pieces all over North America. Bisc pottery lead me to pursue a career in which I could combine my love of technology and engineering with my newfound passion for design.
As a student ambassador for the College of Design, I promote the school of Industrial Design to prospective students, acting as an official host of the Institute as a campus tour guide and event host.
As the GRA, I test and refine the parametric algorithm used to design custom-fit eyeglasses via Rhino 3D and Grasshopper, fabricate 3D printed prototypes, develop user-testing questionnaires and interviews, and conduct user-fit tests.
As the IPDL student assistant, my main role is to help keep the lab up and running so that students from all majors have the opportunity to learn how technology and design can work together. Some of my responsibilities include inventory management, mentoring students, and creating visual aids to educate students on documentation instruments, sensors, Arduino, and other electronic components.
