Summary

I am passionate about all things design. I enjoy every aspect of the creative process, from ideation through to completed model. Being detail-oriented, I am constantly learning new approaches and techniques to enhance my skills. As a curious learner, I have intentionally studied roles and skills of those around me (e.g., CAD) in order to completely appreciate and contribute to the design process.
