About Me
My passion is to design sustainable systems.
What inspires me is not just the achievement of sustainability in the context of the environment, but also from the perspective of optimal experience. I define sustainability is a result of a perfect balance in effort, intuition, and output. While effort may be involved, it’s justified by the ease of experience and end-result.
Whether the task is to figure out how we may profitably implement regenerative agriculture techniques from our ancestors or to design a more intuitive product experience, I find passion, inspiration, and motivation in finding innovative ways of enabling sustainability in a user-centered and thoughtful way.
As I’ve made my way into the world of Design, it’s clear to me that innovation and how we move forward will be heavily influenced by how and the extent to which we are able to instill sustainability in what we create.
I’m looking for opportunities to tackle complex problems through the lens of Design or work on ways to make our presence more sustainable on the planet. Ideally, I’d love to work on something that combines both.
My experiences thus far spanning strategy, engineering, technology, and design support these efforts. As I evolve into my career in design & innovation, I am drawn specifically to managing the overall end-to-end process of bringing to life a desirable, viable, and feasible product.
