Born and raised in southern Oregon, I grew up outside, looking for swimming holes and building mountain bike trails. I found passion in being on a team, playing soccer competitively for 14 years. When my family moved to Florida when I was 14, I quickly learned to adapt to a new environment and different cultural norms. In the mountains of North Carolina, I ultimately found a place where my passion truly fit. My love for product, people, making things, and the outdoors flourished in the Appalachian State Industrial Design program, where I got to collaborate, learn technical manufacturing skills, while being inspired by the surrounding mountains.

I’m an Industrial Designer who crafts products that invite interaction and storytelling. In the two years since graduating from Appalachian State, I’ve translated my focused background in footwear design and making into real-world impact at two major shoe companies. My key professional strength is the ability to adapt quickly and contribute innovative ideas to fast-paced projects. This mindset—combined with my love for the outdoors, where connection and durable innovation are essential—drives me to create products that genuinely resonate with the consumer. I look forward to designing the next essential product that bridges the gap between consumer needs and the adventure ahead.
