Industrial Designer
I find design to be a lifelong pursuit of innovation and improvement for both the products and for myself. I am committed to always learning new skills and evaluating new methods. I love to apply creative thinking and the process of discovery that comes with each new project. My goal is to define the true problems relative to the project to lead to solutions that make sense in the consumer's hands, the marketplace, the environment, and the factory.
