I specialize in translating brand vision into physical reality. I’ve spent my career between design studios and factory floors, shaping design intent into physical products, through CMF, making, and close collaboration with engineers, suppliers, and creative teams. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Design Innovation, Strategy and Product at IED Milan.

​

That path has taken me from fabrication at General Motors, to restoring vintage aircraft at Aircorps Aviation, to CMF and design quality work during the Cybertruck launch at Tesla. What connects all of it is the same obsession: the gap between what something is supposed to mean and what it actually becomes in production. The material decisions, the surface choices, the moments where a brand's character either holds ups or quietly disappears.​​

​

Part of what brought me to IED Milan was wanting to push that further, to step out of the midwest and into a completely different design culture, to be around people who think differently, and to really understand what questions to ask before reaching for answers. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Design Innovation, Strategy and Product there.

​

What excites me most is the space where brand, product, and story converge, the decisions that determine not just what something looks like but what it means and how it's understood. I want to be part of teams that are actively shaping that, where design is a continuous expression of identity rather than a finishing step.
