Where are you from?  Â
Denver, ColoradoÂ
What inspired your decision to come to Environmental Design at CU Boulder? Â
When I came to college, I knew I wanted to be creative and constructive. At first, I was set on being a sculptor, but then I realized that I wanted to create for people.
Did you know right away that you wanted to major in product design? How/when did you know? 
I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do. I was back and forth between architecture and product design. But, after taking the 1110 studio, I knew EPOD was right for me.Â
What has the program taught you about yourself as you’ve taken on your educational career?
This program has taught me how to present who I am in professional environments and how to defend myself and my work. It has also helped show me my place in the world. Â
What would you like to do upon graduating from Environmental Design?
When I graduate from ENVD I hope to leave the United States and start designing for the world. Products that can help everyone and be used all over the world. Â
What tips or advice would you give to future design students?
Always keep working hard, have a positive mind set, and keep your eyes open. It's a beautiful program and so much to learn from it. Â
