About
I am an extremely detail-oriented designer with experience in real world product design development, computer-aided design, graphic design and hands-on fabricating.
(A little narrative about myself)
Ever since Marco was young he's always enjoyed great art and design. His love for anything that has to do with audio or music is an everyday thing for him. I guess he's what you call an "audiophile". Marco always desires the best and top notch audio products. Spending that extra few bucks for better sound and design is worth it for him, which has lead Marco to his all time favorite Industrial designer, Kurt Solland, lead product visions at Harman Inc. Kurt has inspired most of the visual aspects in Marco's creations. Both having a great interest in audio design, his products have helped inspire Marco to achieve great aesthetics, and ergonomics in his ideas, but Marco is ALWAYS open for new inspiration!

Education
-
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Industrial Design & User ExperienceArt Institute of Pittsburgh2009 - 2013The study of Industrial design at AIP includes applying a sophisticated level of design thinking and design research approaches to the planning and development of design ideas for objects, services and systems that support human needs. These included consumer appliances, tools, business machines, furniture, medical equipment, architectural products and transportation devices, to name a few. Understanding modes of manufacturing and production, the analysis of systems, circumstances, and processes to determine ways in which new products can serve to improve or satisfy users in new ways to meet current and future demands is the foundation of our educational approach. I learned sustainable design principles, and to how model practices that contribute to the creation of healthy environments.
