Featured Projects
ReGrained Internship
Last Summer, I interned at ReGrained, an upcycled ingredient startup, where I helped to launch a new line of pasta, interact with social media influencers, as well as forge brand relationships for future collaborations.
Spirulina Research + Work
I'm currently researching how to optimize spirulina production so it can live up to its full potential. Spirulina is a microalgae with amazing properties and through my product development internship at Spira, I get to explore its many applications!
Twillica
As part of a hackathon, my team and I came up with the idea of Twillica: a "one for all" jacket capable of adapting to the user's comfort. Its shape-shifting ability is the result of carbon nanotubes and shape memory polymers. We got fourth place!
ABC Lab
This Summer, I spent a month at the University of Illinois researching entomology and bioinspired design. I assisted with a project replicating cicada wings as well as ran my own study on the wing surface of fireflies.
Let's keep in touch!
