About
Passionate about all things design, I thrive in a creative atmosphere. Excellent communication, group work, and organizational skills have helped me grow into a well-rounded designer who can take on any challenge. Whether developing complex surface models, creating realistic renderings, or sketching concepts, I am a team player who strives to deliver the best designs with a positive attitude.
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. -
