About
I am a Certified Dental Technician (CDT) in Ceramics with more than 20 years of fixed restorative experience and over 15 years designing in Exocad. My focus is dental CAD for anterior and posterior crowns and bridges, veneers, and cement-retained and screw-retained implant restorations.
As a ceramist and laboratory owner, I design for the finished restoration: accurate margins, appropriate contacts and occlusion, natural morphology, esthetics, material thickness, emergence profile, and practical production. I evaluate digital cases, troubleshoot scans and restorative space, and communicate clearly with dentists and laboratory teams. I have a professional Exocad workstation and additional tooth libraries, including Zirkonzahn Heroes.
I hold a Master Dental Ceramist certificate from NYU College of Dentistry, where I trained under Jason Kim, MDT, and a BA in Psychology from SUNY Oneonta. I am based in California and available for remote freelance, part-time, overflow, and vacation-coverage design. I can share relevant work samples and complete a test case so you can assess my occlusion, contacts, form, esthetics, and morphology.

I’m a Certified Dental Technician in Ceramics with more than 20 years in fixed restorations and over 15 years in dental CAD design. I’ve also owned and operated dental laboratories, so I understand what a design needs to achieve at the bench and in the mouth.
I’m interested in remote design opportunities, particularly part-time, contract, or overflow work. My experience includes esthetic crowns and bridges, veneers, implant restorations and full mouth cases. I have my own CAD workstation and would be happy to share work samples or complete a test case.
