INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
I have spent my career working from the industrial design side of things, developing products from concept to reality alongside designers, engineers, and many others. I enjoy working with teams here and abroad to create a complete product system, from the product itself to the packaging and point of purchase display, at each step injecting interesting new aspects into the end product. I'm also looking to work in marketing and interface design.
