Hi, I’m April

I grew up in a small coastal community where I spent more time in the water than I did on land. My love for the ocean has pushed me to become a sustainable design strategist to create products and services that help society enjoy life without harming the environment.

I graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a degree in Industrial Design and a minor in Designing for Sustainability with a concentration in Film & Television.
