Overview
About Me
I have an insatiable curiosity for design and the processes that encompass it. Sometimes my curiosity leads to new interests, and I pick up knew skills. It is often a tough choice for me to narrow down my interests because I am a lover of sensory experiences - listening to many genres of music, tasting new palates, feeling interesting textures, smelling notes of memorable experiences, and seeing sights unimaginable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travel to Germany on my own for 40 days researching industrial design culture. I visited several cities, including Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Dessau, and Hamburg. Interesting thing I learned was the beautiful melting pot culture of Berlin ironically defined itself as the least German city.
Teach, Learn, Share
To reiterate my insatiable curiosity, I can chat about random things a person may not assume from me. I know how to weld and can points on how to do it safely and neatly.
