Fly fishing enthusiast: Love the patience, focus, and quiet challenge of chasing trout on early mornings.

From a young age, I’ve been drawn to problem-solving and exploring new ways to approach challenges, whether through small inventions or creative projects. That curiosity and determination have guided me to pursue Product Design at Penny Stamps School of Art and Design, where I’ve been able to tailor my own curriculum and combine it with studies in entrepreneurship and business. I’m passionate about designing and creating products that are both meaningful and functional, and I strive to develop work that can make a lasting, positive impact in the world.
