I’m a 21-year-old, originally from the United States. Three years ago, I decided to move to Aotearoa, NZ. I’m currently in my third year of industrial design study at Victoria University of Wellington. I have a background in trades, and outside of design and photography I spend my time working on motorcycles, reading, and exploring this beautiful country I now call home.
In my pursuits, I value versatility, consideration, and attention to detail. I have a healthy respect for the importance of design for the human experience, and see my work as an opportunity to explore how we each relate to natural and human processes.
