WORK EXPERIENCE

Hasbro Inc. December 2011 - Present
Model Services Pawtucket, RI
Worked in the model shop designing various mechanisms as well as components for a wide variety of brands including Transformers, Kro-o, Spiderman and Nerf. I generated concepts digitally using Solidworks as well as sketching. I also build breadboard models to battle through obstacles. I have been able to sharpen my leadership skills by training and supervising our interns along with other on projects that I have assigned to them. I have been fortunate to be able to build outstanding relationships with my co-workers.

Hasbro Inc. May 2012 - Present
Industrial Designer Boys Games Providence, RI
I was recruited by my departments VP and Managers to help out the games division. They are introducing new products and I was brought on to help kick start them. I adapted smoothly to the games team at our Providence location, formulating new ways of game play with our brands. After making connections with the games Managers, they have been continually requesting my help developing concepts.

Hasbro Inc. January - May 2010
Model Services Co-op Pawtucket, RI
During my Coop I worked as a model maker developing prototypes for BeyBlades and Tonka brands. I utilized a range of materials, discovering many new ways to apply action for BeyBlade tops. Using springs, levers, cams, ball bearings and more during my development stages, I was able to visualize pros and cons through the duration of the build. At times I would step back to analyze and critique my mechanisms. This helped me if I had problems that needed to be permutated by critiquing existing designs.

Bill Bancroft Furniture Design August - December 2010
Designer / Fabricator Boston, MA
I achieved final designs working alongside architects creating detailed drawings from rough sketches. After our revisions we would establish our build using exotic woods. Mostly everything was built using hand tools but we also would use machines like CNC’s, table saw and wood shapers to create more intricate products.

Mike Kaufman Drink Ember 2009-2011
Contract- Store Display Stands Boston MA
Ember took me step by step through the process of their product. They created a beverage that makes you resistant to hangovers if you drink it before bed. After hearing their direction I then started to come up with display concepts for their product that were geared towards their market.
