During my undergraduate education, I had the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of research and critical thinking skills while working towards my bachelor’s in political science and philosophy from Boston University. These skills were bolstered by my professional experience as a researcher that I acquired during and after my undergraduate studies.
After obtaining my diploma, I interned at two art studios while working as an assistant for a professional artist. Eventually, I received the opportunity to travel to China for a master’s of fine arts on a full scholarship from the China Academy of Art. There, I was able to further develop my aesthetic and conceptual sensibilities while immersing myself in the local culture. The work from my time in China can be viewed at hangzhouarchives.xyz.
During my master’s, my interests began to gravitate towards design. I believe that good design requires empathizing with others to solve problems, fulfill needs, and hopefully improve lives. It’s a challenge I find both exhilarating and fulfilling. I’m currently pursuing a master’s in industrial design at ENSCI - Les Ateliers in Paris, France.
