My early fascinations evolved into a dedicated pursuit of knowledge in Industrial design; with its focus on the intersection of aesthetics, functionality, and user experience, it heavily resonated with my innate desire to understand and create. It was in this field that I found a formal expression for my childhood curiosities—a discipline that valued not just the outcome but the process of creation, the thoughtful consideration of materials, and the impact of design on everyday life.

To me, industrial design is not just a career choice; it's a calling. It's about harnessing creativity to solve problems, to improve lives, and to imagine the world not just as it is but as it could be. It's about respecting the legacy of craftsmanship and innovation that I grew up admiring in Chicago, while also pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities.
