My motive is to share with the world everything it has given me and inspire those around me to do the same. I thrive on connecting with others and building off of shared insights. It fuels my designs. It allows me to arrive at the best possible product solutions based on the perspectives of the people who use them. That is only a step towards the solution, albeit possibly the most important.
I am always observing the objects around me. This gives me a constant source of inspiration, whether it’s an unfamiliar material, a mechanism that could be applied differently, or even just a pattern in the sidewalk. When the light bulb flashes, my pen hits the paper. I can quickly take an idea and turn it into a tangible concept though sketching and 3D mock-ups. You will find in my portfolio, the beauty of my design work lies in the subtle details that make up the whole.
