BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Hello! I'm a mechanical engineer with a passion for building and creating, driven by curiosity and creativity. I am born and raised in Seattle, WA
Coming from a background of doing graphic design in my free time, I approach engineering and problem solving with a strong sense of visual thinking and an "outside-of-the-box" lens.
This means that each project I've worked on has not only been technically effective, but also user-focused and visually refined.
