Bio —
I’m an industrial designer who just graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in spring 2024. Inspired by the outdoors, I bring play-informed design to life, creating designs that look beyond functionality, to also resonate emotionally with individuals. Empathy is at the core of my design philosophy. I value the connections I make with people and believe that understanding their stories is essential to crafting meaningful designs. I've been commended for my ability to connect with others, viewing it as one of my strongest assets that I bring into my design practice. When I’m not making shapes in the studio, you’ll find me making shapes on my bike, board, or in the garden.

Backyard Studio



This backyard studio or office space is designed to maintain a close relationship with nature. It frames its surrounding environment using an open veranda which is home to two sliding glass doors and four skylights within the diamond shaped roof. The concave shape of the roof is also designed to accommodate rainwater catchment at the backside of the structure.
