Hi I'm Monica!Trained as an architect, I was fascinated to learn more about the ways the built environment affects the way we conduct our lives.
During my undergraduate studies, I learned design is just one perspective I can use as a lens to examine the world, I pursued my graduate education in Integrated Innovation, which brings together design, engineering, and business from Carnegie Mellon University. Here, I learned to approach problem-solving not just with my design toolkit but with a collaborative mindset combining multiple perspectives to develop innovative products and services.
Moving forward, I hope to work on projects that leave a positive impact on the people using them!
