Resumé
Detail-oriented multi-awarded winning multi-sensory designer with an MFA in Visual Communication Design and a BA in Design & Printmaking. Motivated by understanding and empathizing with my sister, diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I aim to raise awareness and address sensory sensitivity challenges. I focus on integrating tactile and visual elements to create impactful experiences for all, especially neurodivergent individuals.
