About
With over 12 years of experience as a Color, Material + Finish designer, I have designed in the automotive, consumer electronics and footwear design industries. I am passionate about my work, and speak with equal enthusiasm when discussing my impact on the interior of a Ford Shelby GT 500 Mustang, the finishes of a Ford F-150 Raptor, or the material design in performance footwear like the Nike LeBron 12.
During my time at Nike, I served on the Nike Trend Council and hold a bronze International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) for my work on the Kobe 9 Elite shoe in the area of Sports, Leisure & Recreation.
I have lived, worked and studied across two countries, in places like New York City, Toronto, Detroit and Portland, Oregon. I'm an eternal optimist with an admittedly dark sense of humor. I love music, obsessing over design and traveling. -
