Worldbuilder and Designer of Poetic Experiences

I have a background in chemical engineering and followed that with a career in strategy consulting at McKinsey & Company. These experiences gave me a very structured thinking ability and the technical and commercial knowledge behind manufacturing processes. At Stanford’s d.school, I bring this foundation to go beyond what is currently imaginable and craft poetic, human-centered experiences. By combining systems thinking with hands-on prototyping and design research, I create products and processes that are immersive, meaningful, and grounded in real human behavior.
