About
WHAT: I am seeking employment as a junior industrial designer or industrial design intern.
WHO: I am a recent graduate from Kendall College of Art and Design and Coast Guard Reservist. Who has spent eight years in the service as a machinery technician.
WHY: I love solving problems. I am fascinated by the industrial design process as it transitions from initial ideation to final product that can be sold or used by a person. My experience in school, internships and military experience have given me the ability to fulfill the position of junior industrial designer.
HOW: I work through my designs on pen and paper. I also use Wacom Cintiq and Sketchbook sketches. I also use Rhinoceros to hack my ideas together to sketch over them to achieve the final design.
WHERE: I am not geographically bound I am ready for opportunities wherever they may be -
