About

With over 7 years of experience, I have honed the ins-and-outs of product development from sketching, trend-analysis, branding, market research, 3D-modeling, engineering, prototyping to final product launch. I enrich my expertise in design through multiple interests such as illustrating the natural world, textile/pattern design and travel. I am a strong team player and leader and I strive to make a positive difference through the power of great design.
