Process Work — Sketches & Ideation
VISUALIZATION
Personal analog and digital sketches alongside studio ideation and process work.
Industrial Designer · DAAP · University of Cincinnati
Working at the intersection of speculative inquiry and real‑world constraints, by designing for both tangible environments and fictional production. Using design to test possible futures and translate them into grounded, actionable forms.

01 — The Problem
02 — Process
Placeholder process description. Document your research methods, ideation approaches, sketching phases, prototyping iterations, and key decision points throughout the project.
03 — Development
Placeholder development notes. Describe material investigations, prototype iterations, fabrication methods, and how the form evolved from initial concept to final resolution.
04 — Outcome
Placeholder outcome description. Summarize what the final object, system, or speculative artifact communicates. What did you learn? What futures does it propose or critique?

// Industrial Designer · DAAP 2030
Placeholder — Replace with your own words. Currently a first-year Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP). Interested in the edges between speculative fiction and functional form.
My work explores how objects carry meaning, embed assumptions about the future, and participate in cultural systems larger than their physical form.
Design Philosophy
Working at the intersection of speculative inquiry and real‑world constraints — using design to test possible futures and translate them into grounded, actionable forms.
I start with questions, not answers. Every project begins with identifying what assumptions are being made about users, environments, or futures — and then designing against or within those assumptions deliberately. The process is iterative, material-forward, and always anchored to a speculative prompt that keeps the work from becoming purely functional.
