Driving Ideas into Action

I thrive on helping people go from “that would be cool” to “holy sh*t, that’s cool!” At the University of Rhode Island’s Innovation Labs, I worked with dozens of student entrepreneurs and university organizations to turn rough ideas into real brands. I guided early-stage projects through the pesky execution phase and helped them launch with confidence. Having built and launched my own products too, I bring the same creative follow-through to every project I take on.

URI ‘25

I recently graduated with a double major in Marketing and Innovation & Entrepreneurship. While at URI, I worked as the Student Creative Director at the Innovation Labs, where I helped student ventures and university programs build their brands, design their websites, and bring their ideas to life. From rebranding departments to mentoring first-time founders, it’s where I sharpened my skills to become the designer I am today.

BudBud Supply Co.

What started as a late-night idea in my college house turned into a real product—and then a real business. I designed, prototyped, and launched the BudBud, a multifunctional cannabis tool, in just two months via 3D printing. From branding and packaging to manufacturing and marketing, I created an identifiable brand from the ground up. Today, BudBud Supply Co. has a growing product line, a strong online presence, and retail partnerships in over two dozen stores. It's been my crash course in entrepreneurship and my most hands-on design project yet.
