ABOUT ME




As a Cornell University student majoring in Fiber Science & Apparel Design with minors in Business and Materials Science & Engineering, I am passionate about exploring how innovation in materials and textile science can make apparel both functional and fashionable—bridging performance with cultural relevance across sportswear and streetwear

Through founding my own fashion startup and working with independent fashion labels, I’ve gained end-to-end experience in design, manufacturing, marketing, and business operations.

As a former Team Canada Taekwondo athlete, I understand the importance of performance apparel from the user’s perspective, which shapes my user-centered design approach—creating products that combine style and performance.
