I’m an Industrial Designer , outdoor Enthusiast, and passionate Problem-solver, currently working at Steelcase in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Interdisciplinary Skill Sets.
Bio.
My journey into industrial design began with a love for creating by turning ideas into something tangible and valuable. Over time, that passion evolved into a more profound interest in solving everyday problems through thoughtful,
user-centered design. Some of my strongest skills include concept sketching, storytelling, and bringing ideas to life through physical models and hands-on exploration. What drives me most is the human side of design: connecting with others, understanding their needs, and designing intuitive and impactful experiences. For me, interacting with others isn’t just inspiring; it’s essential to designing with empathy and purpose.
