i’m a scientist¹ playing² connect the dots.³

I am obsessed with the power of emotion, clarity, and beauty to make an experience of technology novel.

I trained on the professional track for ballet—movement, quality, and story are core to who I am. My ballet career was promising. But it was cut short when the intensity of my training became a risk to my health. I turned to wearable technologies—initially as a user seeking information about my body, then as the researcher, designer, and founder of Pulse, an award-winning R&D startup developing a wearable to help optimize exercise within cardiac restrictions. Pulse led me to the USC Iovine & Young Academy where I studied Product & Experience Design alongside the fundamentals of Software & Hardware Development, Venture Management & Strategy, Multimedia Production, and Philosophy & Psychology.

I have contributed Product Design, Strategy, and Research to teams including Apple, Adidas, Samsung, Mattel, Harvard Business Publishing, and USC Convergent Science Institute in Cancer. These experiences have been ultra-energizing. I have simultaneously navigated the complexities of profound personal losses, which ground me in acute intentionality and a deep appreciation for health.

I play in a world of technology and I question our world beyond technology.

Currently exploring: wearable technology, health & human performance, wellness, exercise physiology, AI & human consciousness, mindfulness & wisdom cultures, creative expression, movement.

This portfolio is a documentation of my past work—largely done with limited resources during the pandemic. I’m 23 years old. My best work hasn’t been done yet.
