About
I have served institutional and corporate clients alongside small businesses and startups. I earned an MID in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and a BS in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Art Practice from the University of California at Berkeley. Based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, I am available for freelance projects. My focus is improving human experience via egalitarian design. I work to alleviate miscommunication, while minimizing waste and encouraging presence.
Specialties: wayfinding, information design, branding, service design, presentation building, competitive analysis, ethnography, copyediting, illustration, rendering, model-making, prototypes, file management
