Your window into the world of innovative design
I earned my BA in Product Design and MS in Sports Product Design from the University of Oregon. Rooted in my athletic background, I approach design with a maker’s mindset – blending hands-on experimentation with an analytical understanding of sport through physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics. I’m driven by curiosity, unafraid to take risks, and believe that every failure is a stepping stone toward better design.
At the core of my work is a commitment to inclusivity. I aim to create equal opportunities for diverse and underrepresented communities through performance-enhancing, body-specific apparel and equipment. In both sport and design, I value collaboration, diverse perspectives, adaptability, and the pursuit of ideas that push performance forward.
Core Skillsets
• Solution-focused, outside-the-box thinking
I’m the person who will tear apart a problem and rebuild it from a weird angle if that’s what gets results. Whether it’s reworking a product line under a tight margin, redesigning a fit that repeatedly failed development, or finding a left-field concept during trend research that ends up leading the season – I like figuring out the thing no one else tried yet.
• Adaptability across research, design, and development
I’ve worked in environments where the brief changed daily. I’m comfortable shifting between deep market research, sketching out concepts, and refining technical details with pattern/production teams. If a project pivots, I pivot with it – and usually come back with something more interesting than the original direction.
• Deep understanding of consumer needs and behavior
I design with the actual end-user in mind – not a hypothetical mood board person. My background includes analyzing reviews, pain points, returns data, and fit feedback to create pieces that people actually reach for every day. I’m always thinking about how products live on real bodies in real life.
