I use engineering and human-centered design to understand problems, define products and then build them.
​
From designing medical devices with minimal language barriers, to safer agricultural harvesting equipment, I strive to address people's needs with thoughtful technology. I thrive on mechanical design challenges - particularly those coupled with usability considerations. I work towards solutions through analytical processes, prototyping, and visual communication, and I know that great products result from trusting and collaborative teams.
​
I have built products in spaces including medical devices, residential solar, consumer products, agricultural engineering, robotics and IoT.​
​
My interests in anthropology, sociology, history, art and architecture draw me to design. They shape my perspective on how we think about ourselves and each other, and our relationship with products.
​
Outside of work, I'm happiest when I'm playing guitar, planning my next (long-awaited) dinner party or building something out of salvaged materials.
