Working as an industrial designer for 20 years, I was involved with a number of projects delivering full product development services and market integration for my international clients. I enjoy collaborating with startups and helping their early idea becomoming a reality through market research, product development, prototyping and crowdfunding.
My work style is a mix of full-time and contracting for brands, companies and manufacturers, domestically and worldwide.
The main categories range from consumer product design, industrial equipment, design for manufacturing/machining, manufacturing sourcing, custom architecture, public art projects, visual assets and technical documentation.
