I am an industrial designer based in Northfield, Minnesota, United States. I have worked in various manufacturing facilities for the last decade, including casting, machining and general sheet-metal fabrication. I have spent the last 15 years working with various CAD programs, primarily SolidWorks, creating and manipulating models for the medical, energy and aerospace industries. I am capable of reverse engineering both 3D solid models and 2D drawings from existing components and/or drawings. I currently hold certification as a SolidWorks Certified Professional, with specialized certifications in mold design, advanced surfacing and sheet metal.

The positions that I have held have enabled me to be exposed to a variety of industries and manufacturing methods. I have designed components and assemblies for injection molding, casting, extrusion, stamping, prototype machines (FDM printers) and standard machining. I strive to use the design skills that I have acquired and to learn new techniques that will make me a better engineer. The positions I have held also opened new doors to different aspects of engineering, besides design, that I had no experienced with and have expanded my knowledge of the business, quality control and design assurance.
