    I make antiques.

  • Education
    • BFA Industrial Design
      Savannah College of Art and Design
      2004 - 2007
      SCAD was fantastic. I got to do everything I had been wanting to do ever since I was a little kid. Taking things apart, figuring out how they worked, making things better, cutting up paper, foam, wood & metal and turning them into functional, beautiful products, sketching, coming up with great ideas, painting things, learning cool computer programs, working with cool machines and the whole bit. I loved every minute of it.

    • Designer
      Viatek Consumer Products Group
      Chattanooga, TN
      May 2016 - May 2019 (3 years)
      I started at Viatek contributing to the graphics team’s responsibilities including packaging design, Instructions, and product photography.

      Over the course of two years, my role evolved more into the engineering & new product development teams. I began by modifying existing CAD but eventually started redesigning products and creating new designs. After three years, a number of my designs have already been produced, marketed and sold.
    • POP/OR product Designer
      SMP/Variamed/Spectas
      Chattanooga, TN
      Jan 2011 - Oct 2015 (4 years 9 months)
      At SMP I developed Point Of Purchase displays along client briefs. I came up with numerous creative POP solutions per week many seeing wide production. I also designed graphics for prototypes, developed instruction sheets and modelled various products and parts for projects as needed. One highlight was a new mechanism for attaching small baskets to the sides of displays with 1” tube legs without the need for hardware or tools.
      I was also part of a small team which developed a line of capital equipment for heavy ortho. cases and a number of other products focused around equipment an processes used during surgical procedures. My biggest contribution was designing the a hydraulic IV stand. My favorite details include a five pedal design so the lift could be activated no matter which way the stand was oriented, an ergonomic handle and trim pieces.
