About
Senior Industrial Design Student at UW-Stout. Looking for a post graduation internship or position starting Summer 2016.
Immensely fascinated by design and moving the world forward through innovation. I am especially interested in sports equipment and designing for athletes. The progression of equipment in recent years is absolutely astonishing and I want to be a part of designing the next generation of sport.
Industrial Design is incredibly rewarding for me. Taking a project from a simple concept all the way to a finished product is simply satisfying. Every aspect of the design process is fun and challenging in its own way, I love Model making, sketching, and rendering. I have a passion for Design and I cannot wait to bring my ideas to the table.
