Fun Fact

I am inspired by architecture, art, and storytelling. Package design is like architecture; you can manipulate different materials by creasing and cutting to create something new. Through the use of colors, materials, textures, packaging can evoke certain feelings and emotions.

Passion

Packaging? Engineering? Research? Yes! Different packaging projects require different tools and machines, standards and specifications. I’ve spent a lot of time learning and comprehending many; I’ve worked on a large variety of projects and look forward to applying those experiences to the next one
