I’m an adventurous designer, engineer, and maker currently pursuing my Master’s in Engineering Design Innovation at Northwestern University. I believe design should unlock access to meaningful experiences and inspire adventure in the everyday.
My journey began with a BS in Engineering Science from Smith College, where I discovered I didn’t just want to build systems, I wanted to connect people through them. Since then, I’ve led multidisciplinary teams, mediated conflict, and designed inclusive systems that center the human experience. With Boeing, I managed a project focused on neurodiverse travel, creating a solution package that addressed the wide spectrum of sensory and cognitive needs. At Lumen, I streamlined fragmented data systems into a centralized platform using human-centered design, ensuring long-term usability for every employee.
I care deeply about access, because I know how transformative opportunity can be. My own adventures, from sailing across the Pacific to exploring AI driven Syntropic Farming in Australia, have shaped me into a more empathetic, open-minded person. I want to utilize my technical engineering knowledge to tackle complex problems that drive growth, connection, and joy.
Whether I’m introducing Design Thinking and Future Planning through flying cars to middle schoolers, throwing pottery, or listening deeply in a team setting, I bring curiosity, creativity, and care to everything I do. I’m excited to keep designing for everyday impact, and to keep learning through the unknown.
When not engineering, I love traveling, sailing, diving, photography, making, reading, and the outdoors.
