Industrial Designer - Glove Division at Dakine
I cannot seem to get home without getting bike grease on at least one piece of clothing. I get snow down my jacket, sand in my shorts, and mud pretty much everywhere else. I also live for tackling new design problems, immersing myself in new territory, and being an ambassador of design for my clients. I gravitate toward outdoor-focused projects, but enjoy clever home and office solutions, and find inspiration everywhere. I am getting better by the minute.
