What’s in the works?








Thanks for stopping by! I’m currently an 
industrial design student at James Madison 
University. I also work as a design intern for 
Cole Schrogham at Madison Automotive 
Apprentices where we restore one-of-a-kind
vintage Porsche vehichles. I’m grateful you’ve 
taken the time to visit. I’m just getting started 
so please reach out with any feedback!











Glasses that let you keep one eye on reality...



EON-R

   
2 weeks
Feb - Mar 2025













An exercise in rapid speculative design,
this 2-week sprint project is based around 
solving a problem for a distant (or not-so-
distant) future. These glasses are a discoursive 
piece on generative AI. One eye is shown 
what was generated, one isn’t. Only one 
sees the truth.

A cultural disconnect from agriculture has distanced consumers from their food.



In Progress...

   
4 months
Jan - May 2025
















Not having to spend your life farming 
is a privilege for many. Thinking systematically,
how can we  design an experience that helps 
people appreciate and acknowledge that privilege 
as well as incentivise good practices in agriculture 
through radical transparency  on where food 
comes from?



Coming Soon
