About
I take a hands-on approach to design and design research, melding my passion for craft and making with a keen sense for synthesis, ideation, and discovery. My unique background and experiences allow me to bring concepts to life, realizing ideas for real world. I lead individuals and teams in the development of meaning, the pursuit of communication and the creation of experiential prototypes.
