About

I am an industrial designer/creative based in Los Angeles. I find inspiration and a desire to create through creating connections with people around me. I seek to create empathetic solutions through playful experimentation, research, and embracing the chaos that comes with the ambiguity of the design process. In my free time I enjoy knitting, collecting stationary, and finding new music.

RV's allow people to travel freely and escape their day today to day. However the cost in not accessible and the look is dated. Taking inspiration from the trend of van life and van builds I wanted to design and create a system of furniture that allows its user to easily create and install this template into their van. By sticking to unfinished materials, this allows the user not only to customize their van but it cuts down on cost and makes the kit more accessible. By also sticking to natural materials, my goal was to better immerse the user into nature. Overall Align focuses on transforming the interior spaces of RVs into a fresh space that captivates a younger audience while fostering a strong bond with nature. By making these experiences more accessible in terms of cost and promoting sustainability, the project aimed to create lasting and cherished memories for individuals seeking a refreshing and rejuvenating getaway.
