I am driven to innovate and develop impactful solutions to promote positive, sustainable social change.
With a background in math and physics, international development, education, art, design and engineering, I hope to use multifaceted approaches to address complex societal and environmental challenges.
People millennia from now will look back on our work today as an illustration of our current society. It is our responsibility to assure both the cultural authenticity of this illustration and the positive impact it inspires through its innovation—to design things that are not only beautiful but meaningful as well. This is our legacy.
