ABOUT ME

I’m a northern California native with 5 years experience as an industrial designer, with a focus in augmented and virtual reality. I’ve worked at small corporations, startups, and consultancies, where my Swiss army knife skill set has me working beyond industrial design in UI/UX, branding, and engineering. In 2015 I graduated San Jose State University with a B.S. in industrial design and a minor in German (B2), with another 6 years of fine arts under my belt before college. I’m a certified Solidworks professional, with a deep understanding of master modeling and advanced surfacing techniques, and I’ve seen projects through from concept to manufacture. I’ve lived in 3 countries and always welcome the opportunity to travel, near or far.

I’m always looking for new ways to learn and grow, and I’m always up for a challenge.

If you have a project that needs some design help or have an idea you’d like to see realized, feel free to reach out.
