    The work I love involves creativity, discovery and problem solving. As a Industrial Designer and a Mechanical Engineer I involve myself in projects that utilize my creative visualization skills along side my love to put things together and construct something new. I have a strong knack for conceptual design and "big picture" type of thinking.

    My work I do for a living is Industrial design, Mechanical Design/Engineering and 3D modeling. I find clients and employment opportunities from parties who need highly professional level work done. I live in the western USA, but I love to travel often and I'm open to many different types of opportunities.

    The tools I mainly use for my clients and projects are Solidworks, Photoshop, Illusturator, AutoCAD, Hand Sketches and basic level hand renderings, and Keyshot or Photoview 360 3D Rendering Software.
