I am a student at the University of Cincinnati's DAAP program for Industrial Design. I chose to be a designer because I love appreciating the beauty of the natural world around me, as well as man-made works of art and design. I find it inspiring to see how design shapes our view of the world, and my goal is to make that view a positive one. I am passionate about the environment as well as meeting the needs of others.

I enjoy taking a look at things at a deeper level to find meaning and to express that to others. In addition to looks and aesthetics, I am also very interested in problem solving. As a kid I have always loved studying things in detail, figuring out how they work, and coming up with efficient solutions to problems.
