Why design?

Since my mother is an artist, I have always had a talent and intense passion for the arts that was an inherent part of me. My father, a chemist and writer, raised me to be extremely analytical and curious. Design, for me, is a perfect combination of problem solving and truth seeking that demands creativity in order to fully explore.

 

What has been your biggest professional accomplishment?

My biggest accomplishment has been earning the opportunity to be the trusted design lead of an activewear brand launch in one of the toughest industries. It was such a unique experience being a part of a startup model within a large corporation and really taught me how to design with agility and a fierce competitiveness.
