Hey there!
I'm a spatial designer with a B.S. in Industrial Design from the University of Houston, based in Austin, Texas. With my understanding of Industrial Design principles, I build compelling bonds between objects and individuals. Between my artistic roots and formal design knowledge, I pursue the creation of experiences that transcend conventional boundaries. I use a lot of my interests to influence my work, which include but are not limited to; 35mm film photography, illustration, movies and animation, literature, and art history.
​
Currently searching for an entry-level full-time design position and willing to relocate anywhere domestically or abroad.
