My studies in industrial and graphic design have given me a unique mixed background and understanding of design. My projects focus on design for social good by using ethnographic research to create products for the underserved. My background in product and industrial design have helped me work with many disciplines, such as engineers, artists, production designers, construction and in teams to produce high-end experiences.
For all of my industrial design projects, I take branding, presentation design and user-research into deep consideration. I am proficient in the use of Solidworks, Keyshot, a lasercutter, CNC router and shop tools.
I am highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Cloud programs and have years of experience with environmental design, branding, layout design, editorial design, deck-pitch presentation design, digital and print-press poster design, package design, design-research and methods, typography and model design.

Throughout two semesters at Notre Dame, I took an intro and advanced course on 3D Digital Production, covering Maya and Mudbox to model, animate and rig from video. I also have experience using After Effects, Flash Animation and creating stop-motion animation to create 2D animations. I enjoyed the detail-oriented projects during modeling that allowed me to explore character development. This course helped me further understand a 3D form in a 2D space.
In the summer of 2015, I had an internship at Digital Kitchen, a creative digital agency whose focus on experience design, branding and motion graphics gave me great exposure to the use of 3D digital production and animation in the actual field. It was this internship that inspired me to take further courses during my time at the University of Notre Dame.
I will be taking a motion graphics course in the spring semester 2017 at the University of Notre Dame.
