"What inspires me is being part of the process of turning scientific and technical ideas into real-world impact. I’m naturally curious, and I enjoy learning how new technologies function, digging into the problems they are designed to solve, and figuring out what makes an invention unique. I find it rewarding to explore complex concepts and help shape how an invention is understood, communicated, and protected."

Autumn joined Laine IP in September 2026. She works in the US IP Team as a patent agent trainee, focusing on application drafting and prosecution in the IPR services with technical specialization in chemistry, polymers, fibers, biomaterials, and materials science.
