For me, product design is not just about solving puzzles. It’s about connecting with people through the things we create and making a product that solves a problem in their lives. I love the process of bringing an idea or a product to the next level, whether I’m creating an industrial design to satisfy the market’s demands, a functional prototype to get people’s attention, or a mass-manufacturable model to bring down costs. In 2013 I bought my first 3D printer as a kit, and used it to start a small business called Mindforge Design. As part of Mindforge, I designed and sold Maryland-themed 3D printed items to the University of Maryland community. Eventually I built a printer of my own which evolved into Readybox, the fastest consumer 3D printer on the market at the time. Readybox had a successful Kickstarter campaign in late 2015, reaching and exceeding its funding goal in only 18 hours. Since graduating in 2017 with a BS in mechanical engineering I’ve been working as a mechanical engineer at Harbor Designs and Manufacturing, where I’ve designed mechanical systems and parts for a multitude of consumer products. I specialize in injection molding and sheet metal design, and in bringing a project from inception through production. Today you can find me designing new products in and out of work every day. With a background in both prototyping and the founding of small businesses, plus experience in product development, CAD design, and multiple types of mass manufacturing, I’m able to guide you through any step of the product design process.

I graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2005 and immediately entered the aerospace industry working for a major airframe manufacturer. There I learned and used CATIA v4 and was fully trained in CATIA v5. I've spent the last 10 years working in various design roles as an individual contributor and design lead of cross functional teams on simple and complex projects with values exceeding $15 million. I have advanced skills in CATIA v5 in areas of solid modeling, complex surfacing, assembly design, and drafting as well as bill of material and bill of specification creation, modification, and maintenance. I also have intermediate skills in the CATIA v5 kinematics package.
