Who Am I?


I am an industrial designer with a focus on trauma informed design. I pride myself in focusing on making things that will help people who are otherwise forgotten about in design.

Socia

a Dissociation Plushie


Inspired by a traditional adolescent comfort item, Socia was designed to become a comfort tool by mirroring common grounding exercises. It contains weight for deep pressure therapy.

The structure is accousically isolating, which contributes to the feeling of escape.
