About
I am an Industrial Designer with a foundation in Mechanical Engineering. I’ve worked as a machinist, automotive technician, and design intern, giving me a strong understanding of how products develop from concept to manufacturing. Across these roles, I was able to have hands-on experience within prototyping, fabrication, and product testing. In any design environment, I have enjoyed being able to experience the full design process from start to finish when producing a novel product.
