About
For the past two years I have been managing my own freelance design and fabrication business. My work is currently represented by a consignment shop in Chicago called "What the Traveler Saw". I have also experienced success on Etsy.com.
I am equally comfortable working in a prototype shop or solving problems with a team of designers. My background in drawing and sculpture have supported my interest in lamp design & furniture design, and an interest in early-mid 20th century industrial product design informs many of my design solutions. -
