I’m passionate about creating unique, innovative products for kids. I’m in the constant pursuit to gain new skills and become a better designer. When I’m not designing, I can be found drinking tea, playing my ukulele, or binge-watching netflix.

Footwear Design Intern- Kids TeamWorked with the Kids and Studio teams. Generatedcolorways, rendered shoes using photoshop and keyshot, learned shoe modeling softwear, ideated for SS16, created image boards. Had too much fun.

Toy Design Intern- Nerf Rebelle TeamWorked closely with design and marketing teams to develop products and explored new IP through sketching and rendering. Created image boards, foam core mock-ups of blasters and packaging, and blue sky concept ideation. Got paid to play.
