About Me
With a background spanning enterprise technology and business, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and a Master of Science in Biomimicry from Arizona State University, my experience bridges strategic thinking, creative practice, and emerging approaches to innovation.
Through my work in enterprise technology—collaborating closely with design, engineering, and manufacturing teams—I’ve long been curious about how materials, form, and function come together to shape meaningful experiences. A deep interest in animal welfare and a desire to change the game through creative, innovative thinking led me to pursue the Master of Science in Biomimicry at Arizona State University.
Where Beauty Serves Function & Performance
In design, form and color are often driven by aesthetics. In nature, every form and color serves a purpose. From the adaptive shifts of chameleons to the geometries of leaves and skin textures, biological structures are inherently intentional—supporting function, resilience, and the health of the broader system.
​
What if we followed nature’s lead, where beauty and function coexist seamlessly—where color carries meaning, form generates function, and systems are designed not just to perform, but to endure?
This way of thinking applies not only to products and materials, but also to how organizations innovate. Time-tested strategies for efficiency, adaptability, and resilience offer a powerful lens for reimagining processes, systems, and products. Biomimicry is a practice of observing patterns in the natural world, abstracting insights, and applying them in new contexts to move beyond inherited assumptions.
​
The opportunity lies in designing not merely to stand out, but to ensure resilience and create conditions conducive to life. If you’re curious how innovation inspired by nature can inform new ideas and directions, I invite you to explore the projects here and reach out to begin a conversation.
