Bio
I have always been a person with diverse interests, constantly balancing my fascination with the sciences and passion for the arts. In my eyes, design is an interdisciplinary field, and it speaks to me for that very reason. It allows me to explore and integrate science and technology, arts and craftsmanship, as well as form and function into a single object. Methodical, creative, and tend-conscious designer with industrial and fashion design expertise. BFA on Industrial Design, MA on Footwear Design. Always looking to innovate and create organic forms in the triangular digital space of XR.
