Designer, Innovator and Inventor with 10+ years of hands-on experience in creating and producing designs for consumer, commercial, and mission-critical markets... Responsible for the end to end design process from initial product definition to mass production.
Strong academic background with BSc and MFA in Interdisciplinary Design. Author of 28 patents spanning various technologies and 30+ International Design Awards including IF, Red Dot, IDA and Good Design. My career features collaborations with top talents at leading companies, contributing significantly to the development of successful design solutions.
I'm always seeking new challenges. My past as a college basketball player instilled a competitive spirit, which I now channel into beach volleyball. I have a passion for the outdoors, travel, and adrenaline-filled adventures. However, my greatest joy is spending time with family, especially my nine-year-old niece, who shares my love for cats.
