About

For over seven years, I've worked as a college professor, focusing on design research with a strong community engagement component. My work involves collaborating with local communities to understand their business dynamics and challenges, ultimately developing innovative product solutions. My research has spanned diverse areas, including rural textile communities, sustainable materials, fashion, food design, and environmental sustainability.
