Bio

I am a rising senior Industrial Design student at Purdue University (Class of 2027) with a 3.98 GPA, focused on the relationship between form, function, and material experience. Through multiple co-op rotations in industrial design, I have gained hands-on experience in concept development, 3D modeling, prototyping, and user-centered research, contributing to projects across a range of consumer products and brand systems. My approach to design comes from curiosity and observation. I like asking questions that go beyond how people use something and try to understand why they use it the way they do. I am especially interested in the small moments in everyday routines where thoughtful design can reduce friction and improve experience. Whether I am sketching early ideas, building prototypes, or refining work through feedback, I care a lot about how products are touched, used, and experienced over time. Outside of design, I enjoy cooking and playing beach volleyball, both of which keep me grounded in hands-on, social, and iterative work. I have also led collaborative projects and explored entrepreneurship through a small sustainable fashion venture, which helped me learn how to communicate ideas clearly and move them from concept to execution. Across everything I do, I am most interested in designing products that make everyday life feel more intuitive and considered. I use research, making, and iteration to uncover insights that help reduce friction in how people move through their day.
