I create with purpose at the intersections of STEM and art to solve overlooked problems.

Noah is a high school junior living thirty minutes from Chicago, and is a part time student at both Wheaton North High School and the College of DuPage. Originally trained in classical art, he began searching for a deeper purpose in his work-something beyond abstract, "I'm a artist, I see that way" kind of stuff. That search led him to mathematics and systems thinking, where he became interested in bringing clarity and human meaning to complex, often dehumanized data.

At MIT BWSI and MIT CREATE, Noah was introduced to assistive technology- particularly wearable systems that are frequently overlooked due to being deemed unprofitable. Seeing potential where others saw constraint, he began applying design and engineering toward technologies that prioritize dignity, accessibility, and real human need. Similarly, Noah wants to continue to flip the tables in a world driven by money by focusing on loving God and loving his neighbors.

In his free time, he climbs trees and befriends squirrels, looks for dead insects to taxidermy, folds paper, and plays piano at church.
