Artist by nature, designer by nurture. I have a fascination for innovation at the intersection of design, science, and technology. My career path has been unconventional, and it's what made it interesting; the diversity of experience. My work experience has touched many cultures of design: from consumer goods, to transportation, to architectural design in the United States and Canada. I have specialized as a conceptual designer, working on innovation/advanced teams and in the early stages of the design process on many projects.

In 2015, I completed my research at the Université de Montréal on Biomimicry and Innovation in Sustainable Design. My focus is now on Biodesign and emerging design approaches at the convergence of technology and biology. These approaches will inherently transform the discipline of design and increase the potential to create a symbiosis between the built and natural environment.
