About
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.

Hubbard, OR, United States
As a Digital Manufacturing Engineer, I transformed client concepts and napkin sketches into fully realized products by leveraging my expertise in 3D modeling, shop drawings, and CNC/G-code programming. I programmed and operated 3-axis CNC routers, managed laser cutter/engraver setups, and integrated and programmed a Fanuc cobot arm for automated sanding. My role involved overseeing the entire process—from design and programming to machining—ensuring precision, efficiency, and seamless execution in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Portland, OR, United States
As Product Development Technical Lead at an ergonomic office furniture company, I transformed early-stage concepts and sketches into fully realized prototypes for a diverse product line, including desks, chairs, storage solutions, monitor arms, and lighting. Using a mix of hands-on craftsmanship with hand tools and Autodesk Fusion for 3D modeling, I developed physical mockups and integrated 3D printing to streamline the prototyping workflow. My designs were optimized for global manufacturing, and I ensured seamless production by providing detailed shop drawings and comprehensive 3D models to support our international manufacturing partners.
