I move designs from intent through execution. That means developing the geometry, assemblies, drawings, details, specifications, tolerances, materials, processes, and configuration needed for a design to survive contact with fabrication, construction, inspection, purchasing, and production. My background spans California architecture and development, aerostructures, composites, mechanical design, and manufacturing. I work with DFM/DFA/DFx, GD&T, tolerance stacks, BOM and configuration structure, quality, supplier constraints, and standards-based documentation. I approach the work with the downstream consequences in mind: how something will be made, bought, assembled, inspected, changed, and represented in MRP/ERP systems. Where specialist engineering is required, I know what needs to be surfaced, how to define the problem, and when to bring in the responsible engineer. For architecture, I provide senior design and documentation support to architects and engineers on substantial residential projects, with project scale generally equivalent to $1M+ construction in higher-cost markets. My role is not simply to draw what is given to me, but to help carry the design through to a clear, coordinated, buildable set of documents.

I help companies develop products that customers love and manufacturers can build. Over the past 30+ years, I have led the development of consumer, medical, and life science products from early concept through commercialization. My experience includes wearable, handheld, portable, desktop, laboratory, vehicle-mounted, and outdoor products, ranging from highly cost-sensitive consumer devices to complex technical systems. My expertise includes product architecture, value engineering, plastics design, tolerance analysis, design verification, failure analysis, supplier development, and global manufacturing. I work closely with cross-functional teams to balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, schedule, and cost while maintaining a relentless focus on the end-user experience. I enjoy solving difficult engineering problems, simplifying complexity, and creating products that are elegant, robust, and practical. Whether improving an existing design or developing a new product from the ground up, my goal is always the same: deliver meaningful value to customers and successful outcomes for the business.
