Mechanical engineer designing intimate products women actually deserve.
A portfolio of work, half-finished thinking, and material studies from a recent ME graduate looking to spend her career engineering pleasure products that take women seriously.
Begin readingI build things you hold in one hand, for as long as you want to hold them.
I’m a recent mechanical engineering graduate from UMass Dartmouth, looking for my first role at a female-led, female-focused brand engineering pleasure products properly.
My work sits at the intersection of materials, acoustics, and ergonomics — three problems that nobody in this category seems to be solving together. I’d like to be the engineer who does.
When I’m not in the workshop you’ll find me opening up products I didn’t pay for, measuring them with equipment that costs more than they did, and writing up what I find in the journal.
- 01
Pleasure is a problem worth engineering.
Most products in this category are decorated, not engineered. I'd like to change the ratio.
- 02
Build → pitch.
Render a prototype, hold it for a week, then talk about it. The render lies. The hand doesn't.
- 03
Design for the user no one asked.
The brief that says 'we want it to look great in unboxing photos' is a brief about something else.
Things I’ve made,
and what I learned making them.
Bloom
An ergonomic personal massager designed around how people actually hold things, not how they look on a shelf.
Curve
A material library for soft-touch silicones. Eighteen formulations, characterised across hardness, surface finish, and what people actually call them when they touch them.
Hush
An acoustic damping study on small DC motors. A research project that reframed motor whine from a manufacturing tolerance into a design problem.
Let’s build the products women have been waiting for.

Open to first roles starting summer 2026. Particularly interested in early-stage, female-led teams.
