    Design is my niche. I believe the objects we surround ourselves with should not only look smart, but that their technical performance should be outstanding. My mechanical engineering background allows me to consider both aesthetics and function in my designs. My vivid imagination and ingenuity help me come up with simple solutions for complex problems.
