About Me

I've been living and working near San Diego, CA for the last 5 years. My training and experience covers a broad range of design techniques. With my roots planted in mechanical engineering, I have discovered a real interest in product and industrial design in the last few years. I enjoy the process of sketching out new concepts, refining and selecting the best, and bringing them to life. I'm obsessed with learning new things and am always looking for opportunities.
