About
An Industrial designer with an engineering background, living between the left and right brain, I find my passion for product design centering around user experience, FUNction, and materials application. I want to create products that capture your eye and put a smile on your face; living by your side, performing flawlessly.
The approach to a design includes observing market trends and user habits, then creatively applying analysis to re-think problems, products, and processes. My focus is to create positively engaging design through empathy, end user research, aesthetic development, and attention to detail. With a diverse design and build skill set, sharp learning ability, and eagerness for growth, I add a unique contribution to any team.
