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 can take on any challenge. Whether it's managing multiple projects, communicating with factories in China or simply building hand-made prototypes, 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.
