Hello and welcome! I am a convergent designer and maker based in Rochester, NY, with a passion for accessible design and sustainability. My journey has been shaped by a long rich arts/tech background, having collaborated with cutting edge creative companies like The Jim Henson Company and Blue Man Group.

Raised by an environmental-activist turned contractor and a craftsperson turned Occupational Therapist, my designs are heavily influenced by my upbringing and center disability, the environment, and joy. As a mother of two, our family has embraced Deaf Culture since welcoming our Deaf daughter six years ago.

Theater, my first love, informs my collaborative spirit and actionable approach to work. With 16 years of experience in the arts in New York City, I recently graduated with an MFA in Industrial Design from Rochester Institute of Technology, expanding my creative process to include materials such as wood, metal, and ceramics.

My passion lies in utilizing Industrial Design as a catalyst for Social Impact. With a focus on the convergence of objects, access/sustainability, and strategic design to create equitable systems and products. Such as through centering end-of -life in design process, asset-framing disability, crafting transformative experiences, communication systems that celebrate self-identity, products supporting self-advocacy, and disruptive environmental design.

I love discussing custom works and collaborations, so feel free to reach out. Let's explore how we can make a positive impact together!
