IDEA Award Winner Fast Learner, Very Quick and Creative Problem Solver. I have a strong passion for the creative process and love to find ways to make it work. My background is heavy in Industrial Design, though I maintain interests in many other areas. (Too many hobbies, not enough time) all of which I draw knowledge and experience from when working to develop a product.
