I’m an industrial design student born in New York, raised in Senegal, and studying at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. My work resides at the intersection of heritage and innovation, rooted in the belief that tradition and progress can coexist in balance. I blend emotional storytelling, cultural memory, refined forms, innovative materials, and forward-looking ideas to create objects that feel timeless. Above all, my design process is rooted in people and their communities, honoring origins while imagining what comes next.
