I’ve always enjoyed figuring out how things work—and how they could work better.

That curiosity has shaped more than 25 years of designing and developing consumer products. I enjoy the full process, from exploring ideas and sketching concepts to developing CAD, building prototypes, refining details, solving manufacturing challenges, and seeing a product reach the market.

What I like most about industrial design is the balance between creativity and problem solving. A successful product has to look right, feel intuitive, perform well, meet cost targets, and be manufacturable. Finding the right balance between those requirements is where I do my best work.

I’m a hands-on designer by nature. I like testing ideas, working through details, and collaborating with engineers, sourcing teams, marketers, and suppliers to move a product forward. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of consumer-product categories, materials, and manufacturing processes, which has given me a practical understanding of what it takes to turn an idea into a successful production product.

Good design rarely comes from a single great idea. It comes from iteration, collaboration, persistence, and attention to the details that shape the user experience. I’m still energized by the opportunity to learn a new category, solve an unfamiliar problem, and create products that are useful, intuitive, and enjoyable to use.
