Hi, I'm Emily! I grew up in the fog in Daly City, CA and am currently a student at Stanford University studying Product Design on the Physical Design and Manufacturing track with the Climate and Environment domain focus. I am also taking classes for a Mechanical Engineering degree and am planning to apply to the coterminal masters this year so I can further my skills and ability to create functional, user-centric products.​

​

My specialty is my strong foundation in human centered design mixed with my engineering expertise. As an analytical person who enjoys working on creative and innovative projects, I take a collaborative approach and have experience with cross disciplinary work. My past experience ranges from mechanical engineering research to 3D design for art gallery exhibitions. In the future, I hope to continue working on creating elegant products that add value and create joy.

​

I was a pre-professional ballet dancer for 14 years, and I bring the qualities I gained during that time into my work. Ballet taught me to be detail-oriented and gave me an eye for the aesthetic. I also gained an unrelenting sense of resilience and a constant eagerness for improvement.

​

​When I'm not building and making things in the Product Realization Lab, I like to spend my free time exploring new places and going on adventures. Highlights include living and working on a sustainable farm in rural Norway, volunteering in Southeast Asia on my gap year, interning abroad in Croatia and Australia, and leading outdoor backpacking and camping trips for Stanford. I love creating community, and I do so through these experiences, as well as by being a Community Director for Stanford Women in Design and an active member of my cooperative house.
