I have a unique set of skills and interests that place me at the intersection of the creative, technical, and strategic mind. My experience is in Industrial Design with a focus on Design Strategy and Color Forecasting. I have a growing interest in the areas of interaction and user experience design and would like to gain experience in this area as more and more products have touch screen interfaces.
I am passionate about product development, design strategy, and bringing the best, most compelling products to market. I believe that a strong product roadmap paired with clear consumer insights can lead to clever product solutions that solve everyday problems and improve the user experience. I seek to develop products that are memorable and want to win over the consumer and customer again and again. I am comfortable interfacing with both internal and external customers and resources, and deeply understand the importance of strong relationships within business.
Past experiences have exposed me to many aspects of product development - graphics, display design, brand identity, Color/Material/Finish selection, materials, and usability. I understand materials and processes, project management, and the essentials of product development process. I would welcome new experiences and opportunities related to product development.
