About
Passionate about all things design, I thrive in a creative atmosphere. Excellent communication, group-working, and organizational skills have helped me grow into a well-rounded designer who has 15 years of experience with getting a product from sketch to market. Whether it's sketching, modeling in CAD, building 3D-printed prototypes or seeing a product through the engineering and DFM phase, I am a team player who strives to deliver the highest quality design solutions.
After working professionally in large, medium and small companies for over a decade, I have had the unique opportunity to work with people from Industries such as Health Care, Biotech, Home Comfort, IoT, Consumer Electronics, and Housewares.
Many of these products can be seen at Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon and have been featured in Wired, Business Insider, Digital Trends and PC Mag. -
