    From designing furniture in the jungles to Panama to learning from modern design masters in Denmark, Alex Dorfman draws inspiration from the world around him. His industrial design degree comes from Purdue University, where the majority of US astronauts studied. He supplements design with business know-how in his current pursuit of an MBA. Besides designing he enjoys basketball, cycling, and yoga.

      Berry Plastics / Blue Clover
      San Francisco, CA
      Nov 2012 - Aug 2016 (3 years 9 months)
      From a home office in the Bay Area I traveled to various client headquarters to present the capabilities of Blue Clover (HQ in Indiana), to lead ideation sessions, and to work face to face as I developed custom designs. Clients were located along the western coast of the US and Mexico and were as varied as Starbucks, Clorox, Dollar Shave Club, Plum Organics, and more.
      The first two years I functioned as an industrial designer at the Evansville headquarters. While there, my clients came from all over the country and across the world.
