Design brilliance can only be achieved by learning from failure.
My experience, like any good designer, comes from hard work and my determination to grow from my failures. With my thorough composition,
I implement design principles and trends to elevate product lines and bring innovative concepts to market. I have a background of industrial design: the professional practice of designing products, devices, objects, and services.
The key to a successful product is a strong process. If you have an interest in my process, I would love to connect and share the stories behind the products you see here.
