10 years of design expertise

I design with purpose — for people, brands, and the planet.

My work sits at the intersection of material innovation, sustainable product development, and user-centered thinking. I believe great design is always a team effort rooted in collaboration, empathy, and a clear vision.

From footwear and softgoods to brand experiences and physical spaces, I turn ideas into tangible impact. I’m passionate about circular design, inclusive practices, and shaping products that are as thoughtful as they are functional.
