Good Design Award recipient for Core Collection, Nov 2022
I love exploring every aspect of design to create experiences that reshape how people engage with objects, systems, and spaces. My work combines emotion with functionality, mindful processes, and thoughtful aesthetic to inspire meaningful connections not only between people and objects, but among people themselves. Good design makes empathy tangible.
As far as my illustration side, I love capturing my imagination and moments as I perceive them, and expressing myself through characters and line work.
Received a BFA in Industrial Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
Currently an Associate Design Director at frog.
