About

I am a designer interested in helping people create products and experiences that are both beautiful and functional. I am a doer. I believe in my hands and what they can create. I have a great understanding of mechanics and enjoy solving complex problems. I have a in depth understanding of design for manufacturing and have the ability to make my ideas come to life. I incorporate the best of both worlds by thinking up great products and having the insight to see them through to their final form. I am interested in working for a company that can utilize all my abilities and can give me the chance to make the world a more beautiful place.
