I've been drawing and sketching ever since I was a kid, exploring reality and stories with my pencil. I quickly developed a passion for art and grew to practice painting, photography, and sculpture. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Auburn University, Alabama. where I further refined my skills and abilities. During school, I was able to work with companies like GE and Nike as an artist and designer.
After school, I worked for Nike before opening an art studio in Portland, Oregon, where I could share my passion with the next generation. I taught kids between kindergarten and high school, helping them to explore their own abilities and develop new skills. I also have a human-computer interaction master level professional license from Indiana University.
Now, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Industrial Design at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I enjoy the challenge of designing innovative products and currently work as a designer for a startup that is developing new robotics. I'm proud to see my work out in the world and look forward to more opportunities to bring my designs to life.
