About Me

Hello! My name is Melody, and I'm a recent Carnegie Mellon grad with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and minors in Design and Human-Computer Interaction.

🛠️🎨✏️🧠🖱️🤔🧰

I’ve worked on everything from aerospace mechanisms to e-bike design, focusing on rapid prototyping and CAD. Right now, I’m the Product Design Lead at BAM!, a smart kitchen-ware startup.

I love bringing together technical skills and creative thinking to design products that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful. Let’s make things that matter.
