Founder/Design Director

This was my first experience in creating a product from start to finish. I began with a simple idea of creating a multi-functional, likeable, air purifier, but had no idea how to bring my idea to life. I learned a lot about creating a minimum viable product, cutting out the crap, networking, manufacturing, marketing, holding myself to good habits and breaking out of bad habits.

Product Design Consultant

Being a product design consultant taught me how to listen clients, take their needs, design around them, and then listen to the client again to implement their feedback into the design. I also had to translate the client's desires into a language that 3d printers could understand.

San Francisco State

Design and Journalism Student

I originally planned to become a journalist because I wanted to try to make sense of the world and help others around me understand too. My love for products, though, spurred me to transition into design. As a designer, I'm grateful for my training as a journalist because I've learned how to ask, listen to, and interpret what users really want and need. These principles drive my design process and fuel my desire to create products that help people interact with and understand the world around them.
