In My Own Words

As an industrial designer at DICK'S Sporting Goods, I apply my skills and passion to create simple, instinctive, and introspective products that improve people's lives. I have been working with DICK'S since November 2020, and I have contributed to several projects that champion accessibility, practicality, comfort, joy, and fulfillment for users.

I have won multiple European Product Design Awards for my design projects menU and Tuju, which address social and environmental issues. I love sketching, visualizing, and bringing my concepts to life, using tools such as Solidworks, Blender, Procreate, and Fusion 360. My goal is to create holistic experiences that solve problems, meet needs, and inspire solutions.
