My skills are in designing products while working with teams to continually evolve and refine ideas and concepts. From Sketching, CAD & Physical modeling, storyboarding, and a customer service background, I bring empathy to the table with every element that my work touches. From engineering, manufacturing, and assembly, to maintenance, shipping, and end users.
Having worked with interdisciplinary groups as well as individually in my freelance career I am highly adaptable to fit the needs of any team. I have a passion for mechanical moving parts, manufacturing, sustainability, ergonomics, and problem-solving.
I describe myself as a hobby collector. I enjoy working with film photography, woodworking, metal/plastics fabrication, cooking, plants, ceramics, cars, and music. Each interest informs my process and is a constantly dynamic element of my life and professional practice.
