Something about her



I am an industrial designer currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). My time at a design agency and a crowdfunding consulting firm exposed me to every stage of product development—from concept ideation to mass production and final sales—giving me the holistic perspective needed to craft compelling products and execute successful launches. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging empathy, strategic insight, and creative problem-solving to deliver impactful results.

By translating user research and market insights into thoughtful design solutions, I ensure each product resonates with its target audience. My approach balances creativity and feasibility, guiding concepts from initial sketches to final production.

Outside of work, I’m an outgoing individual driven by passion and boundless curiosity. I love exploring hands-on crafts—particularly leatherworking and metalsmithing. I also dabble in Arduino for small-scale electronic projects and have recently been honing my East Asian cooking skills.
