A picture of myself carving a PoP block.

As an industrial designer, I believe I possess a superpower—the power to create. There are countless challenges in the world that demand innovative solutions and products that don't even exist yet. I am driven to fill this void, utilizing my creativity and passion to bring new ideas to life. Working as an intern at Dotto: Objects of Curiosity, I witnessed the immense impact well-designed products can have and the transformative change they can bring. This experience opened my eyes to the vast potential and boundless possibilities within the field of industrial design.

Design is not simply a task for me; it is a state of being. When I immerse myself in the design process, time fades away. All that matters is the small piece of wood or the blank canvas before me, waiting to be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful. The ability to see my thoughts manifest into tangible objects fills me with an indescribable sense of wonder.

Design is about complete synchronicity—an unwavering dedication to give my all, every time. It is about infusing passion, creativity, and craftsmanship into every project I undertake. Design is my conduit for making a positive impact, solving problems, and shaping a better future through the creation of innovative and purposeful products. In essence, I am a designer who sees the world as a canvas, and through my creations, I strive to make it more beautiful, functional, and meaningful for everyone who experiences it.
