About Me

"I want to solve problems no one has had yet!"

In 2006 I began consulting as a design professional, with projects focused on Industrial Design, Graphics, Manufacturing, and Packaging Design.

I am a graduate of Industrial Design at CSU Long Beach, where I currently instruct CNC Manufacturing/MasterCAM and other courses.

I am quite interested in how we interact with technology, and the greater systems in which our products work. The future will bring more intuitive and interconnected technology, and I want to create it.

Manufacturing processes, logo design, and design for musicians are other areas of interest to me.

I am always open to new opportunities.

What I can Offer You

I am very comfortable generating quick sketches to communicate ideas, although I do my best work with a computer. I am skilled with a variety of programs, especially Photoshop, Solidworks, and Sketchbook Pro. I am also comfortable making physical models and have experience with CNC Manufacturing.

What I have Learned

Through my consulting work I have learned the importance of clear communication, following through on commitments, and budgeting time as well as money. I have also learned to work in groups. Since graduating I have consulted extensively and interacted with clients and vendors daily.
