An Industrial Designer who grew up on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA, and first discovered an intrigue in design through experimenting with the Adobe Creative suite while in high school.  This quickly led to an eye opening of all the possibilities available in the design world.  Initially leaning towards the Graphic Design field, once I began studying at the College of Design at NC State University, I made the shift to study Industrial Design. The hands on processes, thinking in three dimensional space, and the human centered element, peaked my curiosity of how we interact with the world around us on a daily basis.  This curiosity has allowed me to continually grow and learn as a designer.  It is amazing to be involved in a community where learning and exploring different avenues of thought is always encouraged and celebrated.
