Like a Multitool…

I’m an interdisciplinary designer with a diverse range of skills and tools. I combine technical skills, creative thinking, and hands-on problem-solving to design with purpose, whether for a physical or digital product, service, training, or a non-instructional intervention aimed at improving performance. I'm up to the challenge.

Instructional Design

I design human-centered, research-informed, and outcome-driven learning experiences. My goal is to balance creativity with practicality and align user needs with business goals to create sustainable, effective learning solutions.

I design with intention, drawing from empirical research in learning psychology, usability, and accessibility. My work integrates clear, engaging visual design that respects organizational style guides while leveraging strong layout, iconography, and data visualization practices.

Product and Textile Design

My design foundations are rooted in a process-driven, systems thinking approach. My design education emphasized defining problems with clarity, developing well-considered concepts, iterating, and designing with an awareness of environmental and social impacts. This mindset has shaped my commitment to using sustainable strategies and purposeful design thinking.

I focused on both textile-based design and 3D modeling and rendering. My work in textiles began with designing and pattern-making for soft goods like backpacks, later expanding into digital pattern-making and 3D garment modeling. At the same time, I developed skills in 3D modeling and rendering for product design, exploring additive manufacturing and material experimentation.

Digital Toolset

Outside of design, I’ve worked as a snowboard instructor; this experience reflects my ability to thrive in adaptive, high-energy environments. I intend to bring the same friendliness, joyful energy, responsibility, and care for others into my design process.

My latest project

Surfing Stress

I am working on creating video lessons for Surfing Stress, a science-based stress management course. Using tools like PowerPoint, Canva, ScreenFlow, and AI voiceover, I helped design and assemble engaging, self-paced learning materials.
