From the heart of Appalachia. Growing up I was raised with the values of hard work and resourcefulness. I've always been a maker at heart and woodworking has been my sanctuary. From engineering to product design I realized where my passions lie. I have a great desire to make and tinker. Product design is where I get to blend my love for woodworking with my innate desire to create. My journey to product design is a reminder that following your passions, even if it means changing course, can lead to remarkable places. I'm excited to see where design will take me in the future.
