  • About

    I am...a seasoned industrial design professional that strives to improve the quality of people’s lives through simple and innovative approaches dictated by a crap load of restrictions and requirements. I fully understand how to get a product to market and have the experience to do so. Blah, diddy blah, blah.

    I'm an equal voice and interpreter of the client and their ultimate user. I listen. I observe. And then I apply everything to unveil compelling product solutions to increase market awareness for clients. Yup, it's that simple.

    I'm an accomplished sketcher and will use a variety of programs to effectively present compelling presentations. I have more hours than a commercial pilot in advanced complex surfacing SolidWorks. My years with many cross-functional teams and divergent industries has enabled me to meet aggressive schedules on budget and on time. From research to prototypes and eventually to documentation, the value of my experience can only be equally matched with my years in providing my clients with cost effective and alternative means for manufacturing their products. Yup, I'm that good. I am...(dun, dun, dun) a legend in my own mind.

    In short, I specialize in product design & development for the medical, scientific, defense, and consumer product related industries.
