I believe that the most compelling challenges we can tackle as engineers and designers span a wide range of gravity and complexity - from medical devices to musical instruments.

This portfolio showcases a collection of projects that demonstrate my interests and experiences in solving complex human problems through innovative engineering and human-centered design.

Currently, I am refining my design skills in the Stanford MS in Mechanical Engineering, Design Impact program (Yes, I’m a Loftee!), based in Palo Alto, CA. I specialize in taking ideas from sticky note to first prototype, and then from first prototype to first production run. I’m really good at making lots of prototypes, and also really good at breaking lots of prototypes.

Before Stanford, I was the lead Design Fellow at the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design in New Haven, CT, where I not only got to lead the design and development of various types of products and project, but I also empowered over 1500 students to do so as well. I co-found the Yale CEID’s projects-to-products initiative, as well as C.H.I.M.E., during COVID-19.

Before that, I graduated from Yale University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, ABET Accredited.

Before that, I delivered bouncy houses with my family in Florida.

I love music. Sometimes I make music on a saxophone. Sometimes I make things that make music, and then make music with those things. I’m probably working on my next musical instrument right now.
