I am a multi-disciplinary designer currently residing in Central Oregon after 19 years in SF and LA. I have 14 years experience within consumer product companies as the core part of the in-house Creative Development team, mainly focusing on industrial design.
I have experience working on all levels of the product design process from direction to execution, including: Product Road Maps, Strategy, Ideation, Concept Design, User Research, Surface and UI Development, Surface and Solid Modeling, Ergonomics/User Testing, Product Rendering and Presentations. Within my experience I am able to merge company goals within the desired timeline from idea-to-production, utilizing our in-house team, consultants and manufacturing partners.
In addition to Product Design & Development, I have considerable experience working on Packaging Design & Development, Retail Merchandising, Trade Show Displays and Pop-ups, Marketing Collateral, Product and Lifestyle Photography (concept, direction and production) and Product & Brand Video Direction.
Past projects have involved collaborators such as Jamie Hewlett of the Gorillaz, Yves Béhar of fuseproject, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, Ace Hotels, Sephora France, Ace Hotels, Fred Segal and W Hotels and have garnered a number of awards from IDSA (the first award for a sex product), AIGA, ID Magazine, Surface, Good Design, Spark Awards, XBIZ and more.

I have a passion for innovation and critical design solutions. I am inspired by the taboo, the "unacceptable", the unbelievable, and the overlooked - all avenues for new opportunities in improving human experiences and viable product offerings.
I currently am working as head of Industrial Design for Lora DiCarlo using my years of experience to create innovative new products in close connection with our engineering and marketing teams.
