Having lived significant portions of my life across three distinct continents, I’ve developed a

broad worldview. I spent seven formative years in China early on, an experience that exposed me to

different cultures, ways of thinking, and perspectives at a young age. I later lived in Italy throughout

elementary and middle school, where growing up near the Alps I fostered a deep appreciation for the

outdoors and shaped how I engage with my environment. For the past eight years, I’ve been based in

Atlanta, Georgia, these years have been entirely formative in shaping who I am today. I entered adulthood

with a strong passion for video game design and computer science, driven by an interest in systems,

interaction, and problem-solving. Over time, that passion evolved into a focus on product design, as I

became increasingly drawn to creating tangible, real-world objects with meaningful impact. In May 2026,

I will earn my undergraduate degree in Industrial Design, and I’m excited to see where this path leads and

how I can continue translating ideas into purposeful, human-centered products.
