Creating Memorable Experiences

About Me

Hello! I'm Jude, a Mechanical Engineering student at Stanford University (Class of 2028) with an interest in placemaking and engineering design.

I'm passionate about bringing others joy with my work and have both research and design experience in settings ranging from research institutes to theatre.

While I'm continuously developing my technical skills, I'm particularly interested in the intersection of engineering, creativity, and entertainment.
