about me.

With a decade of experience as a CMF (Color, Material, Finish) designer, I have cultivated a unique expertise at the intersection of art, design, and industry. My academic journey began at High Point University, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree with concentrations in studio art, art history, and interior design. This multidisciplinary foundation provided me with a deep appreciation for aesthetics, historical context, and spatial planning.

Building on this, I pursued a Master’s degree in product design at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, further honing my skills in creating innovative and functional products. My professional path has included roles in both museums and the furniture industry, allowing me to blend cultural insight with practical design solutions.

Currently, I lead, create, and implement product strategies for both interior and exterior designs at Volvo Trucks. My work involves collaborating across teams to ensure that every design not only meets functional requirements but also embodies the brand’s vision through thoughtful use of color, materials, and finishes. I am passionate about driving design excellence and delivering impactful solutions in the transportation sector.
