Before I became a designer, I was (and still very much am) an avid cook. I never thought of the two in relation to one another beyond existing in the art space.

But throughout college, you could find me hosting dinner parties for friends or experimenting at the bakery I worked at. Looking back on that now, I see that the two aren’t that different from each other.

My passion for both cooking and design has taught me that community is fostered with the right mix of ingredients and mediums.

As a designer, I aspire to work across mediums to make memorable designed experiences and interactions that foster community.
