Background

At the University of Iowa School of Art, Art History, and Design, I studied 3D design, exploring furniture, lighting, and product design through both physical craftsmanship and digital fabrication. Through coursework, hands-on projects, and professional experience supporting architectural and retail store design at The Estée Lauder Companies, I developed skills in prototyping, CAD modeling, material exploration, and fabrication. Featured here are three projects that best represent my design process.
