I am a hybrid Industrial Designer and Manufacturing Leader with 10 years of experience bridging the gap between beautiful design and factory floor reality. I specialize in DFM (Design for Manufacturing), vertical integration, and scaling production. Having worked on hard and softs goods, ranging from furniture, lighting, therapy pods, toys, and campervan interiors, I design physical products with the end-manufacturing process baked into the first sketch.

My Story: Where Design Meets the Factory Floor
My Story: Where Design Meets the Factory Floor
I don't just design products to look good on a screen; I design them to be built efficiently, sustainably, and at scale.

With 10 years of experience spanning industrial design, digital manufacturing, and team leadership, I sit at the exact intersection of form, function, and factory floor reality. My background blends an education in architecture and design with a BS in Small Business Administration, meaning I view every design challenge through both a creative lens and a commercial one.

My career started off at a luxury furniture company, where I developed a deep appreciation for premium styling and luxury consumer products. Eager to create, I moved into a product development role for a boutique luxury lifestyle brand, where I helped design and launch a furniture line utilizing local manufacturing and rapid prototyping. Shortly after graduating college, I founded a furniture company out of college. While it didn't last, it taught me how to build, fail fast, and problem-solve. It also caught the attention of a digital manufacturing startup, where I spent years as the most senior individual, leading the design, engineering, and manufacturing teams. Together, we utilized lean principles and in-house CNC routing, laser cutting, and 3D printing to scale the business from a 2,500 sq. ft. facility to a 25,000 sq. ft. powerhouse.

Recognized as a 40 Under 40 winner in the Woodworking & Digital Fabrication industry, I was later recruited by one of our largest clients to vertically integrate their operations. Today, I serve as their Head of Design and Manufacturing, having built their entire production department from scratch.
