Multi-disciplinary Designer & Strategist

Ambitious student designer pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Design, majoring in Advertising. As a multi-disciplinary designer, my goal is to situate myself as a well-versed tool for in creative strategy, strategic foresight and industrial disruption. I approach challenges with a sustainable forward thinking solution in mind. I specialize in designing product/service/experiential frameworks and strategizing communicative tones that maximize the digital representation, function, and application of a product/service/experience. I find immense satisfaction in integrating emerging technology with innovative and explorative solutions. As a creative at heart, I find my momentum in pushing boundaries to create new experiences in actuality, and as far stretched as conceptually possible.
