Resumé

PASSION:

As a Designer I enjoy the entire process, which gives life to a Design. Hence, bringing life to a form, by stretch, pushing and pulling of a product shape until it has the essence it needs to represent great form, function and beauty. When I am creating, the message that keeps me going is... just, Bring it to Life!


DESIGN STRENGTHS:
Research and Development, Material Sourcing and Development, Sketching, Mock-up's, Hardware Design and Development, and Pre-Production.
