About me
I am a product designer with an interest in aesthetics and form. My artistic and creative nature has enabled me to produce work that conveys concepts and ideas effectively. Four years at BU has been invaluable enabling me to enhance skills in concept storyboarding, CAD, hand prototyping, understanding design problems, presentation techniques, and how to develop viable solutions. I am excited, motivated and in search of that opportunity to design physical solutions to solve real world problems.

Below is the design journey portfolio that touches upon the various steps taken to produce the product.
