About
I am a multi-disciplinary designer in Automotive Component Design, Apparel Graphic Design and Color and Materials Design.
My experience involves working for Ford Motor Company, adidas and Reebok. In each of these roles I create innovative, cutting edge designs backed by trend insight, analysis and prediction. With every one of my designs I bring an obsessive attention to detail to execute fast, efficient creations that reflect the identity of the design. These skills are accompanied by my understanding into how color, materials, and finishes impact the design process from start to finish, as well as their role as aesthetic and functional differentiators in the marketplace.

Ford, adidas, Reebok, UFC, NCAA, NFLPA, NHLPA, MLBPA and English Premire League. -
