Full-Time Designer,
Part-Time Entrepreneur
My creative pursuits extend far beyond the studio.
In November 2024, I founded Pyroscotic Technologies.
My startup is dedicated to shaping the future through pioneering innovations – from advanced AI models to tangible products – designed to combat the world’s most pressing challenges.
In the past few months, I’ve transformed what started as an idea into a rapid startup, successfully raising over $6K in pre-seed funding.
My newest company SipSafe+, once began as a Communications Design project and has quickly become one of the fastest growing startups at Syracuse University. SipSafe+ has innovated a first-of-its-kind collection of drinkware products that detect spiked beverages through emitting a fluorescent glow when detected.

In March 2025, I represented Syracuse University in the annual Hult Prize Nationals Competition in Boston. This prestigious competition attracts over 15,000 applicants worldwide, and I was one of the 60 teams selected to move forward to compete for a $1 million prize.
Since then, I have gone from a 1-person team to leading a group of 5 highly-talented individuals in the fields of Chemistry, Product Development, Marketing, Operations, and Law.

Since then, my startup has competed in globally-recognized competitions across the world.
In April 2025, I was honored to be selected as one of 40 female founders in the United States to be inducted into the Harvard University Female Founders Circle — an organization that celebrates emerging female CEOs driving meaningful change.
Additionally, I’m a Perplexity AI Business Fellow, where I’ve been receiving invaluable mentorship from some of the world’s most successful tech founders, including leaders from NVIDIA, Box, Bloomberg Beta, and more. As I pursue my Master’s degree at the University of Cambridge, I remain committed to growing my venture and making a sustainable impact on the world.
