Junior Industrial Designer — San Diego, CA
The world has enough junk. I strive to create ordinary things worth keeping.
I'm currently looking to join an organization that understands the singular power of design in creating exciting, useful, innovative, and profitable products and brands, and the courage to see them through. Willing to relocate.
