Passionate industrial designer, strategist, & collaborator.
Approach
Work has taken me around the world and given me a truly global view of design. My experience has led to work in Italy for Olivetti and Studio Mario Bellini, as well as Fortune 500 companies like Herman Miller, Nike and Apple. As a team member, I am as comfortable discussing engineering tolerances, materials and manufacturing for cost reduction and sustainability, as I am specifying the appropriate radius to make a product more comfortable to the touch and pleasing to the eye. I hold over 50 US and International patents.
