Dedicated creative and multidisciplinary designer with 4 years of experience. demonstrating the conceptualization and execution of elevated design in addition to innovating product by leveraging the creative problem solving methodology of design thinking. Skilled in designing products with specific brand values and aesthetic in mind.
My creative journey began at a young age as a passionate artist in grade school. I would immerse myself in classes and summer art intensives to develop drawing, painting, printmaking, and ceramic skills. Later, I continued nurturing this love for manifesting aesthetic visions at College for Creative Studies where I graduated from the Product Design department with a minor in Fashion Accessory Design focusing in footwear. During my time studying design, I had the opportunity to intern in New York City at fashion designer Zac Posen and industrial designer David Weeks. Later I interned at apparel company Carhartt where I fell deeper in love with the process of conceptualizing and making products for a specific consumer focus, leveraging the discipline of design thinking. After graduating, I freelanced as a screen printer, graphic designer, vehicle upholstery developer, and product designer. My most recent experience was at electric vehicle manufacturer Lordstown Motors Corporation where I had the opportunity to continue practicing design thinking in a research and development space. Now, Iām exited to be looking for next opportunities as a creative designer!
