Howard Killebrew

Industrial Designer

Experienced industrial designer currently in the Denver area and open to global opportunities. My approach to industrial design may be characterized as a combination of art and engineering, with special focus on human psychology and problem solving. My favorite tools include Rhinoceros, Adobe CS, Sketchbook Pro, 3d printers for additive manufacturing, band saws and the Wacom Cintiq 21UX.
