About

I am an industrial designer with 10+ years experience who has designed more than 200 products from research to manufacturing. Some of my designs achieved great success and helped my current employer exceed sales objectives, explore new markets and define a new brand identity. The products I created are distributed worldwide by renowned retailers such as Wal-Mart, Bed Bath and Beyond, Asda and TJ Maxx. I work in an extremely fast paced environment where me and my team currently design and engineer more than 50 new commercialized products each year. I have great knowledge of injection molding having developed countless plastic parts throughout my career.
