Experience designer using human-centered design
to create equity for humanity
About Me
I'm a designer trained in human-centered design with a focus on equity and social impact, currently seeking Summer 2026 opportunities in experience design, product design, and user research. My practice centers on creating a more just and accessible public realm through design.
I bring critical thinking translated through creative design skills, cross-disciplinary skills developed through diverse professional experiences, and the ability to collaborate across English, Spanish, and French-speaking contexts. Seeking environments that encourage an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how design informs our everyday lives and can be used as a tool for change.

Capturing Lost Wax

Conceptual Design
In our increasingly industrialized society, we've become estranged from craftsmanship and creation processes. My work seeks to honor these forgotten connections. This installation reimagines the lost wax casting technique—traditionally used to create metal objects—by casting a lock, jewelry, and tooth crowns in wax itself rather than metal. Using both found objects and 3D prints as models, I've installed these wax casts on raw materials from which lost wax is derived: beeswax, coal, and wood. I did this to acknowledge the natural materials used in the creation of the final object, once again honoring the process. By elevating the normally discarded intermediate medium (wax) to the final art form, I question the hierarchy of materials while celebrating the often invisible components of craftsmanship. Through this inversion of process and product, "Capturing Lost Wax" invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with objects, materials, and the hidden labor of creation.
