I am enthusiastic and playful with a love for clean, contemporary design and a soft spot for rustic, well loved or weathered objects. I am what IDEO calls a T shaped person. I am curious and I like learning. My interests vary but I can usually find interesting aspects of anything.
I love to ideate directly with 3D sketch models and free hand sketching, to work out form and proportion, and work back and forth between them and CAD modelling, since many things can be drawn that cannot be made.
I like working in groups where you can bounce Ideas off each other, I find it very helpful in dealing with complex problems. Someone usually has something to say you never thought of. But I also enjoy working alone where I can get in a groove.
