I was born and raised here in Oregon. As a kid I spent most of my time taking my toys apart instead of playing with them. It was always so much fun to learn how they worked. Which is why I originally began my studies as a Mechanical Engineer, but I soon realized that there was a creative side of me that I needed to express. So I made the decision to become an Industrial Designer; the crossroads of art and engineering.

My attitude towards design is rooted in people, the experiences they have, and in the products that enhance those moments. I believe that a well designed product is hardly noticed but is still greatly appreciated all the same.
