About Me

I am a Southern California based designer with degrees in Design and Marketing from California State University Long Beach. I am curious, inquisitive, and passionate about innovative design. My experience includes product, exhibition, furniture and environmental design, as well as graphic and web design. Additionally my interest in art extends to sculpture, photography, improv theater and dance.

My background as a Spanish language and special education instructor has given me unique insight into the role of educator that we as designers are entrusted with. My design approach and process reflects my passion for humor, experiential education and cross-cultural communication.

I am currently hard at work developing and designing next generation spatial input devices at technology startup, Oblong Industries.
