Build to Empower, Design to Last
I design programs, spaces, and experiences that use technology in creative, meaningful ways. Whether helping launch a fully equipped STEM and esports lab, building an interactive curriculum, or running game design and VR workshops, I leverage tech for skill-building, exploration, and real-world opportunities. I'm always open to new collaborations, projects, or ideas where this work can create a lasting impact.
