Who Am I?


I am an industrial designer with a passion for trauma-informed design, designing for the safety, healing, and individual needs of people who live with trauma. I pride myself in focusing on making things that will help people who are otherwise forgotten about in design. I am a detail oriented, bottom-up thinker, who thrives in cross-disciplinary spaces. Good design has the ability to make a big difference in people's lives, and I am excited to help make that happen.

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. Cotton, wool and leather offer different sensory experiences for sensory grounding. Brown coloration mimics nature, reducing stress. The form minimizes the risk of triggers associated with real animals. The pattern on the shell guides the user through the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise.

a Sensory Friendly Dimmer


The Gradient Slide Light is a wall mounted interior lighting solution that allows for a range of atmospheres and brightnesses. Since the dimming action is caused by diffusion rather than electric fluctuations, the light does not flicker any more than standard lighting.

Habitat 1P

an Anxiety Safe Space


Habitat 1P is a deltoidal hexecontahedron made up of fifty-five identical panels. Assembled it is five feet tall. The nearly spherical interior has no harsh corners, and feels sturdy. It has been described by people who laid inside as hammock or womb like. The internal pattern formed by the construction and wood grain gives a focal point for grounding exercises without being overwhelming. The structure is acoustically isolating, which contributes to the feeling of escape.
