Hi, I'm AJ.
I am a business-savvy designer who loves to create.
I finished my B.S. degree in Accounting in 2014, and then pivoted to Industrial Design, completing my M.F.A. in 2016. I was amazed to realize that although the two were separate disciplines, as they were very interconnected with each other. You need to know the business and the design worlds to create a meaningful and successful product - considering the needs of your audience.
I try to use both my business strategy mindset combined with my product design empathy to create meaningful products, projects, and initiatives on both physical and digital mediums. My design journey taught me to deeply empathize with others and respect each person's unique perspective and abilities.
I try to manifest a better future for humanity by designing products which bring an awareness about how to live a happy life - mostly through being mindful, practicing meditation, gaining a empowering perspective, and fostering healthy habits.
