Professional Experience

Geek Chic | Everett, Washington, United States | Feb 2010 - Present
Industrial Designer — Research & Development
Geek Chic has been making lifestyle furniture for geeks since 2008 — starting with gaming tables, and expanding into other geek needs like comic storage, collectibles display, and office retrofitting. Having had to consistently invent my position through the start-up years, I am currently a driving force behind innovative solutions, and a champion for the user experience as a member of R&D, where we are entrusted with the development of new products and processes, bespoke commissions, trade show fixtures, and anything else worth bending our minds around.

EagleView Technologies | Canyon Park, Washington, United States | Oct 2008 - Feb 2010
Product Development & Graphic Designer
EagleView Technologies is the industry leader for off-site aerial measurement services and reports. I joined EagleView Technologies just after it had begun in 2008 as a measuring technician and transferred into a data logistics position. I quickly identified the need for stronger branding and web presence and established their Graphic Design and User Experience department where I was able to work directly with the developers over the next year to design and implement the EagleView Technologies ecommerce website and proprietary core software tools.
