Maker in Motion
I’ve always been fascinated by the in-between — those spaces where ideas, questions, and possibilities collide. As a kid, I carried notebooks full of “inventions” and couldn’t put down The Way Things Work (check it out). Today, I carry the same curiosity at my core. As I dive into projects, questions, and ideas that aren’t immediately obvious, I am excited by the messy, ambiguous spaces where discovery and momentum happen.
I’m currently a senior at Scripps College, pursuing a dual degree in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Fine Arts. Both subjects have become central to my worldview. STS explores the stories behind systems, how they came to be, how they function, and what often goes unseen, while art offers me a parallel way of asking those questions, sometimes directly, sometimes abstractly, and always through experimentation.
After graduation, I’m excited to bring this curiosity and creative approach into new projects, learning from and collaborating with people who are just as eager to explore, experiment, and make things that matter.
How I work
My approach to work and life comes from my love of creativity. From paintings to prototypes, I enjoy designing, experimenting, and getting my hands on the work itself, contributing wherever I can be useful.
I’m comfortable working alongside others without perfect clarity, noticing patterns as they emerge, synthesizing perspectives, and helping ideas take shape through collaboration rather than control. I’m not interested in having all the answers; I’m interested in momentum, learning, and doing thoughtful work with people who care.
At the core of all I do, I’m curious, creative, and grounded in learning. I’m excited by work that’s evolving, collaborative, and thoughtful, and by the chance to grow alongside people who share the same curiosity and excitement.
I love compost piles.
A mentor once shared a metaphor that stuck with me:
Creativity is like a compost pile. A mix of half-formed ideas, abandoned experiments, and fragments of the world you collect. Left to mingle, they feed one another, sprouting unexpected connections and generating new possibilities.
I try to carry compost piles into everything I do — gathering, tinkering, learning from missteps, and letting ideas grow from the fertility of inspiration in abundance.
