About
With 14 years of professional experience in product development and project management, my creative vision and design expertise has delivered over 75 successful product launches under the well-known brands iHome, Timex, Lutron and more.
As a goal-oriented team leader, I bring my wide scope of skills in product design, graphic design, packaging, and branding combined with an eye for detail to ensure consistently excellent results. I strongly believe that great design should be attainable at any price point, where you can have the farthest-reaching positive impact.
I’m grateful to have my hard work recognized with seven CES International Innovation Awards and over 25 patents throughout my career in both the consumer electronics and home goods industries. -
