About the Designer
Passionate and aspiring designer, eager to explore the dynamic intersections of physical, digital, and prototyping design in the captivating realms of Product and Industrial Design. At 21 years old, I find myself deeply immersed in the Design program at Northeastern University, constantly expanding and applying my proficiency in CAD, Adobe Creative Cloud and multimedia design.
In tandem with my academic journey, I've undertaken independent ventures in clothing and furniture design, adding a personal touch to my creative pursuits. My hands-on experience as a Design Assistant has been a transformative chapter, not only enhancing my technical skills but also fostering a deeper understanding of interrelations and proficiency in Computer-Aided Design (CAD).
Beyond the design studio, my commitment to excellence is showcased in diverse experiences, ranging from volunteering at a soup kitchen to gaining practical insights in the restaurant industry. With a solid foundation from the strong work ethic instilled in me at home, I approach every aspect of my work with a holistic and diligent mindset.
