Growing up around cars my whole life, I've always been fascinated with mechanical objects and how things work. My father's hobby is drag racing while my mother enjoys reading and being in nature, tending to her gardens. I've grown to appreciate what nature creates and what we as humans create. Since becoming a designer these two interests have become passions. Whenever someone asks ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ I respond with ‘Happy.’ As a designer my goals are to innovate, inspire, and enjoy life along the way.
