About

Originally from the beautiful Central Coast of California, I grew up surrounded by creativity and entrepreneurship through my father's work as an artist and gallery owner.

This early exposure to the arts inspired me to pursue a major in Product Design Engineering at Stanford University with an Honors in the Arts.

Alongside my studies, I founded Pottery For Education, an art-based retail and wholesale business that has helped support my tuition.

As I look ahead, I aim to leverage my design, mechanical engineering, and arts background to create meaningful solutions to enhance the well-being of individuals and communities.
