AWARDS
My work and I have been honored with awards such as the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Emerging Designer of the Year (2025) and the AIANY New Perspectives in Architecture Award for Deem Journal (2022).
ASSOCIATIONSI serve on several design boards, including the AIANY Oculus Board and SEGD Board, and as an advisor for the LA Design Festival.
Additionally, I have contributed as a jury member for various design awards, including the Paris Design Awards (2023 & 2024), Core77 Design Awards (2024), and as Jury Chair for the SEGD Global Design Awards (2024).
EDUCATION & TEACHING
With a background spanning marketing, branding, and strategy, I hold a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Management from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and a Master of Science in Strategic Design and Management from Parsons School of Design.
Passionate about teaching and knowledge sharing, I’ve previously served as an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design, where I taught "Design Dichotomies" in the MFA Industrial Design Program.
While I’m not teaching formally at the moment, education remains central to my practice.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTMy practice prioritizes creating the right conditions for people, ideas, and systems to thrive, rather than focusing solely on my own ideas. While I initiate and lead shared projects, they are made possible through the trust and care of collaborators, co-conspirators, partners, co-dreamers, colleagues, clients, students, and all who dare to dream big.
...and you. If you have made it this far, you deserve a shout-out!
