Industrial Designer — Fort Collins, CO
Since graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005 with a BFA in Industrial Design I have quickly gained valuable experience as a designer and researcher.

My goal is to arrive at an innovative and attractive solution that adds value for the user and builds upon the brand integrity of the client.
