I’m a New York–based product designer trained in industrial design and user experience design at Pratt Institute. My work sits between physical and digital product design, where form, behavior, and systems have to work together with precision. I’m interested in designing products that reduce noise, sharpen intent, and make decisions easier for the people using them.
My approach is rooted in reduction, but not minimalism for its own sake. I use restraint to create focus: removing what distracts, clarifying what matters, and shaping products that feel easier to understand, harder to misuse, and more deliberate in how they behave. Across my work, I care about hierarchy, interaction, material logic, and the small decisions that make an experience feel considered rather than merely simplified.
I’m drawn to design that is clear without being sterile, useful without being generic, and expressive without becoming decorative. Whether I’m working on a physical object, a digital interface, or a system that connects the two, I try to give the work enough structure to be trusted and enough character to be remembered.
Outside of design, I compete on Pratt’s varsity equestrian team and spend time painting, walking through New York, and observing the details of everyday environments. Those habits keep me close to rhythm, control, patience, and visual judgment.
