I’m a student pursuing the Design emphasis of USU’s Outdoor Product Design & Development Major. I care about function and aesthetics. As a kid I’d help my dad in the garage, often finding solutions to fix some broken plastic car part they don’t manufacture anymore. Sandbox videogames with physics engines were my gateway to 3D modeling and CAD. I took every woodshop high school class I could because it allowed me to make functional art.

I started college with a focus on engineering but found my hands-on and artistic needs weren’t being met. Now studying Product Design, I get to blend my technical mind with my artistic eye and create amazing items that focus on improving user experience.

Matriculating into the design program will provide me with the skills and connections necessary to make an impact in the Product Design industry and continue to fuel my true passion as a designer.
