I am an undergraduate student at Appalachian State University, studying Industrial Design with a concentration in Furniture Design.  

​

Since I was very young, I have had a passion for creating. I am enlivened by the prospect of being able to improve something that already exists, create something entirely new, or even reconceptualize an idea that was previously thought to be established. Through my education and influence of experienced mentors at Appalachian, I have been able to explore these concepts, improving my process and craft along the way. 

​

I am passionate about many facets of design, specifically related to design for children and sustainable design. I was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains, and their beauty and life constantly inspires me. I look forward to continuing to grow as a designer!
