I’m a product designer working at the intersection of hardware and software. Whether it’s a machine interface, mobile/web app, or a physical product, I design experiences that put people at the center of innovation.

My background spans physical and digital domains, enabling me to conceive and execute holistic solutions across mediums. I hold a BS in Product Design (HCI focus) and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford, where I specialized in physical product design and manufacturing.

Currently, I’m a Product Design Engineer at Sanas.AI, designing the future of interlingual communication.

To You in 6000 Years

March 2023
Stanford, CA
In the time of Mesopotamia, people wore cylindrical seals on necklaces, rolling them on clay to display intricate engravings as their signatures.

Using Fusion360 (CAD & CAM), CNC machines (HaasV2 & HaasV2SS), and copper, I made my own to pay homage to Mesopotamians and future people who'll study this seal in 6000 years, much like I do today. The engravings are of my favorite place, Lake Louise, the aurora borealies, and the constellation canis major.

Constraints and requirement to this project include a timeline of 3 weeks for carrying this out from ideation to manufacturing alongside incorporating at least 2 part flips.
