Highlights 

As an accomplished Industrial Designer with a proven track record, I have successfully launched 30+ innovative fitness products that have driven impressive sales, received enthusiastic customer feedback, and resulted in 15 patents. My recent endeavors in designing concept semi-trucks and cutting-edge aerodynamic devices highlight my ability to deliver practical and forward-thinking solutions in the commercial automotive sector.

Beyond my professional achievements, I'm a dedicated DIY enthusiast. I utilize my 3D modeling and design expertise to enhance my home, turning complex ideas into reality while staying within budget and time constraints. These projects not only improve my environment but also refine my design capabilities.

My passion for the outdoors fuels my commitment to sustainability and creating products that encourage a healthy lifestyle. Activities like trail running, hiking, and photography inspire me to develop solutions that connect people with nature.

With a solid foundation in design, a relentless drive for innovation, and a deep commitment to sustainability, I am excited to bring my expertise in shaping the future of design.
