Designing Futures. Building Differently.
Designing systems, stories, and futures that transform how we make, feel, and learn.
Through circular design, regenerative practices, and sensory intelligence, I work where science meets design—as a founder, educator, and creative director building what’s next.
-
Designing how we make—so nothing goes to waste and everything finds its way back to earth.
-
Designing how we feel—through science, senses, and systems.
-
Designing how we learn—by unlearning silos, inviting the future in, and making it together.
Product Design for Circular Economy Brands
Founder of Aplat, a zero-waste design and manufacturing soft goods brand made in San Fracnsico.
I partner with mission-driven companies to shift from linear production to circular, life-centered design. With expertise in circular systems, zero-waste manufacturing, and sustainable supply chain strategy, I help organizations align product ecosystems with climate goals. My work spans food, lifestyle, furniture, and textile sectors—guiding brands toward scalable, regenerative solutions.

Intelligence you can feel
Design × Sensory Intelligence
I help companies and communities reimagine how they create—using systems thinking, neuroscience, sensory intelligence, and emotional intelligence strategies. With 25+ years of multidisciplinary design experience, I guide teams to align vision with strategy, and intuition with execution.

Transforming Design Education
Leading strategic change in creative institutions.
At California College of the Arts, I led a complete curriculum redesign—introducing CoLAB studios, circular systems, AI-enhanced workflows, and life-centered practices across disciplines. I specialize in aligning academic programs with the future of industry, guiding faculty and students into new models of learning, making, and collaborating.
