CEO & Product Designer | Sustainability Advocate
With a robust educational background in design and engineering, including a Master of Design from UC Berkeley, I have cultivated a diverse career in product design and entrepreneurship. As the CEO of La Femitage Online Vintage Store since 2018, I have honed my skills in business development and digital marketing. My experience as a Product Designer at ClassiCon involved pioneering sustainable packaging solutions, significantly reducing plastic usage. I also contributed to strategic design projects at THOMSEN GROUP, focusing on futurology. My role as a Graduate Student Instructor at UC Berkeley's Fung Fellowship allowed me to mentor students in human-centered design, emphasizing conservation and technology. Additionally, I volunteered at the Global Fashion Summit, engaging in sustainable fashion discussions. My journey reflects a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and leadership in the design industry.
