My design work focuses on enhancing people's passions. In my professional career, I have worked around integrating technology that improves lives and enables more time outdoors. I am equally comfortable roughing out ideas at the work bench as I am navigating the technical engineering and business constraints of global launches.
Communication is one of the biggest factors in my most successful work. I aim to be a positive energy to those I am collaborating with.
