S U M M A R Y
Product Designer with a background in industrial design, product development, and manufacturing. I take a hands-on approach to design and like being involved throughout the process, from early concepts and CAD to prototyping, sample review, production, and launch. Experienced developing both hard and soft goods and working directly with vendors, factories, machinists, and cross-functional teams. I’m at my best when I can work directly with the product, solve problems, and improve the design as it takes shape.
