About Me

I am a designer and maker working across industrial design, furniture, product design, and digital visualization. My practice combines hands-on making with 3D modelling and animation to develop and communicate ideas across both physical and digital formats.​

I was born in Texas and grew up across Malaysia, New York, Paris, Loughborough, and Milan. This international background has shaped a design approach rooted in cultural awareness and how people interact with objects in different contexts. I am bilingual and graduated from the International Baccalaureate (IB) at Ermitage in France. I was also selected as an ambassador to Greenland, where I participated in a climate research trip, working alongside an international group to explore the realities of climate change.

Professionally, I currently work with PeaksUnion.com as an Animation Director, producing visuals to support the presentation and marketing of their ski goggles.

 

My design work spans both digital and physical making, with a focus on wood, simple functional construction, and honest materials. I also have experience in metalworking and welding, developed during my final IB exhibition. Key projects include the Repose Chair, built from 35 interlocking pallet wood components without screws, and a collapsible preschool table designed for adaptable, user-led assembly.

 

I work with tools including Rhino, SolidWorks, Blender, KeyShot, and the Adobe Suite, moving between fabrication and digital workflows depending on project needs.

I am currently seeking internships, collaborative opportunities, and commissions in design, product development, and creative direction.
