Design fascinated me from a young age. Watching How It's Made and Building Legos laid the foundation for learning how to build products and how people experience and interact with them. I also had a strong affinity for drawing, painting, and tinkering with things. Math was my favorite subject in high school and I decided to begin my college career in engineering but soon realized I wanted a more creative outlet. At the end of my freshmen year, I saw a friend drawing and became curious about what he was up to. He told me about studying Industrial Design and I decided I wanted to switch to ID.
