I am a User Experience & Product Designer with a cross-disciplinary background in design and architecture. I enjoy designing experiences and interactions between the physical and digital worlds. I strive to solve complex problems that support the need of people and our communities. Previously graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Yale University, I am currently working as a designer at Gensler. I am constantly in search of unique experience-making. My work focuses on forming spatial, social, and cultural contexts and human relationships.
