Who I Am.

I'm a high school student who also runs a 500-member patient support community, has filed a provisional patent, and does commissioned digital art on the side.

My work lives at the intersection of design, science, and human impact. I care about how things look, how they function, and who they're actually for. That thinking led me to speculative design, industrial design, autoimmune advocacy, and biomimicry research — sometimes all in the same week.

I was diagnosed with ITP — an autoimmune disease that took years to get a name for. That experience directly produced two things: the Autoimmune Support Club, and my research into a faster diagnostic test. I build things because I've needed them and they didn't exist yet.
