    As an industrial designer, I strive to develop innovative products from paper sketches through production. My college design education has prepared me for the fast-paced world of new product development by enabling a number of industry sponsored projects that pushed my skill set and enhanced my knowledge of many different industries and manufacturing processes. Outside of the classroom, my unique internship experiences furthered my learning and exposed me to a number of different product development processes and software tools that brought my designs to life. My experiences have prepared me to become a valuable and contributing member of a professional design team.
