I am a 2D and 3D Designer and a recent graduate of the DesignMorphine program through the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy with a degree Master of Science degree in Computational and Advanced Design.

My design philosophy is driven by a passion for conceptual creativity and manifesting unique results. Projects that highlight my processes include The Octopus, 11:11, and the Arm Challenge. I concentrate on unveiling the intrinsic poetry within a concept and meticulously constructing a unified narrative, implementing poetic devices such as repetition, musicality, metaphor, allegory, and rhyme. These elements are then interpreted through aesthetic means.

My design journey began with a deep-rooted interest in art and poetry, evolving into a passion for Graphic Design after earning my Bachelor of Arts from Penn State University. This led to a creative career path that started with marketing and communications. This trajectory later expanded into the realms of science and engineering within an academic setting at MIT.

Working under the mentorship of a renowned Image Specialist during my time at MIT proved to be invaluable in honing my design skills. Additionally, through coursework at MIT, my design skills transferred to my introduction into the world of 3D and parametric design. Influenced by artistic idols such as Oskar Schlemmer, Yoko Ono, and Coco Chanel, my introduction to parametric and later computational design bridged the interpretive and conceptual creative process to the aesthetic by means of implementing conceptual rules into a set pattern and/or representation that yielded an entirely unique form.

At DesignMorphine, I further developed modeling skills using software such as Maya, ZBrush, Arnold, Houdini, Blender, Rhino, Grasshopper, and Unreal Engine. Of these programs, I am currently most confident in Maya, ZBrush, Blender, and Rhino. Additionally, I regularly employ Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for 2D design and illustration. My group work from DesignMorphine was recently showcased at the November 2023 Metrotopia Metaverse and ArchAgenda Debates, curated for the Chicago Architecture Biennial.

My passions include writing, poetry, art, running (I’m a Boston marathon qualifier), yoga (certified Vinyasa teacher), astrology, getting my wannabe nerd on with science documentaries, studying gemstones, and reading. I also love playing with my furry niece and nephews, Ayla, Anakin, and Yoda. My partner, family and friends are alright, too.
