Plans never last first contact with the enemy, and designs never last first contact with the user.

DESIGNER. TEACHER. INFLUENCER.
During my year in the Stanford Learning, Design, and Technology program, I’ve learned that designing for your user is the most important consideration when solving a problem - in education, business, or life.  This portfolio highlights some of the human centered design projects I've completed throughout the year, and I invite you to explore my work and feel free to contact with me with any questions you might have.
