About Me ★

I’m a Master of Industrial Design student at Auburn University. I am passionate about product sketching, visualization, and exploring the intersection of fine arts and industrial design. My journey began with a strong foundation in graphic design during my undergraduate studies, where I developed an eye for detail, creativity, and visual storytelling.

In my graduate work, I’m especially interested in how fine arts practices can be integrated into the industrial design process. This approach allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, blending traditional art techniques with innovative product design solutions.
