My design philosophy centers on creating products that are manufacturable, visually appealing, and tailored to meet user and customer needs. Whether designing for industrial settings or consumer products, I take pride in turning creative concepts into practical, impactful solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve been a lead designer for multiple startups, creating innovative solutions that balance functionality and manufacturability. I’ve worked on aerospace projects for companies like Howmet and Boeing, where I tackled complex design challenges with a focus on precision and practicality. Additionally, I’ve designed devices to assist with manufacturing processes at Entegris and ESAero, ensuring that every solution aligns with both user needs and production realities.

In the aerospace industry, design is about precision, reliability, and efficiency. I’ve worked with Boeing and Howmet Aerospace to develop custom ergonomic tooling, improving manufacturing processes and reducing worker fatigue. Whether designing structural components, precision-machined parts, or aircraft maintenance tools, I focus on meeting strict tolerances, improving usability, and ensuring scalability for production. Aerospace design demands more than just innovation—it requires a deep understanding of materials, stress analysis, and manufacturing feasibility.

At Entegris and EsAero, I designed solutions that directly improved manufacturing efficiency and workplace ergonomics. My projects included designing custom lifting mechanisms for heavy equipment, creating tool organization systems to reduce wasted technician time, and implementing precision automation solutions. From specialized fixture tooling to complex lifting mechanisms, I have worked at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and operational efficiency to deliver real-world solutions that enhance productivity and safety.

Startups require fast, manufacturable, and scalable designs. I worked with Clean-Clip to redesign the ergonomics and attachment system of their patented nail clipper, transitioning rough prototypes into fully 3D-modeled, production-ready designs. I also designed the 4-Way Jump Cup, an innovative equestrian product designed to be more versatile and innovative than traditional jump cups. By leveraging Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and iterative prototyping, I helped create designs that balanced usability, durability, and efficient manufacturing processes. Whether designing for consumer convenience, aesthetics, or ease of use, I ensure that every product is built with both the user and manufacturer in mind.

Rapid prototyping is key to validating designs and accelerating product development. I specialize in 3D printing, machining, and iterative design, ensuring that concepts are not just theoretical but tested, refined, and ready for production. My personal projects reflect my passion for pushing the boundaries of engineering creativity and functionality—from designing a fully 3D-printed inverted projector mount with swappable bases, to developing a smartphone-controlled system for my car. These projects showcase my ability to solve complex problems with innovative, manufacturable solutions and my commitment to continuous learning and hands-on engineering.
