Portfolio
This portfolio is a showcase of my previous work for my application to Northwestern University.
Multipurpose Shelf
One of my assignments as project manager for my work was to design and build a shelf that also functioned as a divider between two sections of the shop. The goals included creating spaces large enough to accommodate certain products at different heights, incorporating a subtle lower compartment for storage, and ensuring that the visual design would flow with the owner’s vision of the store.
Note: I harvested the handle for the storage compartment from a grape vine in my yard.
UConn Metalworking Club Logo
I designed and drew this logo for UConn’s Metalworking Club. It features an anvil with various metalworking tools spelling MWC. I scanned and uploaded the piece into Photoshop where I made some color corrections that didn't translate well digitally.
Green Energy Concept for Innovation Quest
This is the general concept for my IQ project. The product harvests energy from moving trees. In theory, when trees blow in the wind and the distance between the branches change, it produces electricity through a generator when the connecting wires move. Ideally, this technology would function in a sequence by forming a power line around a piece of property or a coastline, potentially supplement for solar power when windy conditions are more prevalent than sunny conditions.
Lefty Hat Co.
I design and crochet hats to sell locally. I love playing with different colors and patterns and usually like to model my designs after themes in nature (peacock, fire, and opal are highlighted below). I was never taught how to use patterns so I have created my own methods that involve a lot of math.

Overlanding Trailer
After becoming brand ambassador for Symmetry Trailers, I co-designed this trailer with the company owner based on my needs as a woman in overlanding. I made it a point that I wanted it to be sustainable, so we found a way to make it solar powered.
