I believe wonder is key to good design.  My design practice begins with curiosity in my local communities and the landscape of Vancouver. By translating thoughtful observation into material solutions, I aim to honour these people and places through functional, sustainable, and joyful designs that inspire playful living!

Through material exploration, hands-on craft, and a love for colour, my process is grounded in detailed research and project management as a counter-balance to messy, explorative prototyping. My experience includes product design through the Emily Carr University Industrial Design program, art direction for indie films, service design research for the ECU Health Design Lab, and community workshops with UBC Slow Fashion.

Above all, I am driven by collaboration and contributing positively to my communities. I am eager for opportunities to continue growing my skills and learning from talented people!

Out of my practice, I find inspiration with lots of tea, yoga, and adventuring with friends.
