I’m most excited to work on projects that… inspire new partnerships and provide the opportunity to work with new materials and processes.
I’m looking for partners that can help me… learn about new areas of interest/fields of study and provide in depth engagement in order to design new opportunities and lasting solutions.
A moment when I felt most inspired in my work was… working with teams with a wide range of skills and knowledge to create objects, systems, and services that would otherwise have been impossible.
Innovations in my field I’m most excited to work on… relate to discoveries from nature that strengthen our designs and deepen both understanding and connection.
