Hi! I am an honors student in the Brown | RISD Dual Degree Program, pursuing textile design; art and design history; psychology; and mindfulness studies.
As a multidisciplinary designer, I focus on fostering empathy, pragmatism, and collaboration in my human-centered design practice to create experiences that champion equitable, accessible, and sustainable futures.
