  Industrial Designer

  I am an Industrial Designer with a BSID from University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Ever since I was young I have worked with my hands. My father and I would build pinewood derby cars and my mom exposed me to the world of M.C. Escher. This combination of building things and art with mathematics enriched my life in a truly unique way. I then went to school in Philadelphia for Industrial Design at University of the Arts to hone these skills. After graduation I worked for a local Philadelphia based custom bicycle manufacturer starting as a technician to rise to the rank of their Creative Director. My responsibilities went from handling all branding and graphics to working with clients on paint schemes for their bicycles to painting them myself. After leaving Elite Bicycles I moved onto a company now known as Curio, a parent company to Mobile Outfitters and Paw5. Here I was their Industrial Designer in charge of creating new products for each company. For Mobile Outfitters I built their custom made vinyl plotter for their retail locations. With Paw5 I helped create prototypes of their environment enrichment dog bowls. I have since moved on to freelance in Industrial and Graphic design as well as Brand Building! Show less
