What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create spatial, experiential, and digital environments where I can apply environmental graphics, 3D design, wayfinding, UX/UI, and human-centered design to production-ready experiences.

I've created environmental graphics and 3D renderings for Cirque du Soleil’s Aulala at Silent House Production, translating creative briefs into fabrication-ready files. I also evaluated large-format production for the ESPYS and conducted site analysis for the City of Hope Gala, considering wayfinding, signage, lighting, rigging, and branded displays.

My work spans spatial experience, UX/UI, interaction design, AR/VR, and CAD drafting. At Fractal Analytics and LearningMate Solutions, I designed enterprise visual systems and improved internal workflow efficiency by 35% and user efficiency by 25%; at FTG, Inc., I model parts and assemblies in SolidWorks and produce manufacturing drawings using GD&T standards.
