Mae is a creative mechanical engineer with a background in thermal hardware design at Rivian, where she developed a strong foundation in designing and validating complex systems. She is particularly interested in how design shapes human experience—especially in built spaces that foster connection between people and their environment. She thrives in collaborative team settings, driven by curiosity, thoughtful problem-solving, and a desire to build systems and spaces that are both functional and meaningful. Mae enjoys any time she can spend outside on a bike, in the mountains, or on a picnic blanket with friends.
