Having a background in graphic design and mechanical engineering, I aim to find the perfect balance between coherent, elegant solutions and functional implementation. I’ve always found myself looking to nature for inspiration to create more naturally engaging and intuitive experiences for users while maintaining a certain beautiful simplicity that can only be found in the world around us.
Today’s technology is evolving at an exciting rate, and staying on the leading edge of these developments has become a way of life for me. There are limitless applications for innovative technologies like augmented reality, 3D printing, mobile, and others, which inspires me to always be on the lookout for ways that various industries can take advantage of these tools. Every day I work to find user-driven solutions to utilize these technologies to help complement our day-to-day workflows, while still maintaining a realistic perspective on industry trends.
Teamwork Abroad
I’ve always appreciated the many opportunities I’ve had travel to customer sites in order to truly understand their needs and deliver effective solutions. Much of my background has been with customer visits and beta-testing events around North America, South America & Europe, along with visiting my remote teams in Pune, India, Estonia, and the UK. Below are some of my sites I’ve visited for work or pleasure, but either way I’m always on the look-out for inspiration in each location I find myself in.
