PROFESSIONAL WORK
FORD MOTOR CO.
Working as a designer, I was able to contribute to both, Advanced Design, and Production Studio work. Centering on the future of Ford trucks, I had a theme chosen as the lead direction, where I gained valuable experience developing a design through the process from sketch, to full scale clay model, with respect to engineering and feasibility challenges. With a heavy focus on research and consumer ethos, I was able to further hone my proclivity towards customer focused design, with customer experience as the bedrock of inspiration.

INTERNSHIPS
FORD MOTOR CO.
I attended my Summer Internship working in Dearborn, Michigan. I was in the Bronco Studio but was a part of the EPLM team which was tasked to touch projects first before the process of production design began. I gained a lot of knowledge about the F-150 and the "Built Ford Tough" ethos, as our main focus was on how to bring customer needs and feedback, into the aesthetic of the future generation of vehicles.
