I am a Product Developer and Digital Manufacturing Manager with a deep background in the ergonomic furniture industry. Having spent years at Fully (acquired by Herman Miller), I specialize in taking high-end physical products from a napkin sketch to a production-ready reality. Unlike traditional designers, I have managed wood product manufacturing plants and programmed the actual CNCs, laser cutters, and robot arms that build the parts. I provide my clients with more than just a 3D model; I provide a complete digital manufacturing strategy—ensuring every 3D model is optimized for the shop floor, whether you are manufacturing locally in the United States or overseas. Core Skills: • Advanced Modeling: Autodesk Fusion, complex assemblies, and parametric design. • Manufacturing Documentation: High-fidelity shop drawings and technical specifications. • Prototyping: 3D printing, CNC machining, and traditional hand-tool mockups.

We've been focused on robust and thorough design and product development consulting with a healthy dose of brand, strategy, research, and, most importantly, process. I've helped large organizations reinvent, redesign, and refresh products and product lines, and have collaborated with start-ups to launch new products from scratch. I've guided executive teams and stakeholders through the chaotic and messy design and development process, as well as mentored design teams and executives on best practices and design strategy. Clients include Nike, Pioneer, Ratio, Steelcase, Bishop House, Yakima, Adidas, Converse, Mattel, Philips, General Motors and many others.
