Bio
To me, design is about using alternative problem solving to reimagine solutions for good. Over the course of my time at KU I've had the wonderful opportunity to pursue a variety of internships and apprenticeships in the US, Finland, Sweden and China, and the chance to represent the University at the IDSA Student Merit Awards. Upon graduation I look forward to continuing my career at Engenious Design.
