I’m a queer designer and artist from the Bay Area, drawn to objects you can hold, surfaces you can read with your hands, and processes that leave marks behind. I study Product Design at Stanford, following the Physical Product Realization track, where I blend precise fabrication with sculptural exploration.

My practice begins with curiosity: how toolpaths shape a CNC-machined surface, how materials respond to pressure and wear, and how a design shifts when it moves from screen to workshop. I’m interested in the dialogue between machines and handwork, using technologies like CNC routing, laser cutting, and casting alongside manual shaping and finishing to understand both precision and imperfection.
