an adaptable engineer studying Design Engineering at Imperial College, London. I enjoy seeing products through all stages of their development: from initial user research via manufacturing documentation to market implementation. Along the way I aim to use all the design and engineering tools at my disposal to inform my decision-making process. When I am not design engineering, you can find me playing rugby for the Imperial College team or tennis back home.
I was born in Boston, Mass., grew up in Frankfurt, Germany where I attended a European School and was taught in both English and German and currently reside and study in London. My international upbringing has given me an appreciation for innovation and technology that works for everyone, everywhere. I am especially interested in Internet-of-Things devices as they integrate all of my design engineering knowledge, insights and inspiration into a single product.
Incoming third year student in course that combines engineering rigor with design creativity, placing a strong emphasis on project-based teamwork and designing to a brief.
