“While good design is functional, aesthetic, and understandable, great design goes further by being meaningful and creating a deeper connection.” – Dieter Rams

I’m an industrial designer with over seven years of professional experience bringing physical products to life from early sketches to full-scale production. With a background in advanced CAD modeling and a deep understanding of manufacturing processes, I specialize in creating products that balance aesthetic form, functional performance, and technical feasibility. Over the years, I’ve led the design and development of numerous seasonal product lines for brands like Bataleon and Rome Snowboards, delivering thoughtful, high-quality gear that’s used by riders around the world. I’m fluent in SolidWorks (15+ years), and I work hands-on with prototyping tools, testing methods, and production workflows to ensure design intent is preserved at every stage. My approach is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and a strong belief in the value of design to solve real-world problems and elevate user experiences.

My design philosophy is that every product interaction should be an experience.
There are fundamentally 3 levels of experience an end user can encounter: The overall form, the individual parts, the fine details.

In every project I’m involved in, I strive to build a product that possesses these 3 levels of interaction. I believe that the care and attention I provide during the development process of a product will be felt and experience timelessly by the customer who will ultimately appreciate it.

Since you have made it this far, thank you for reviewing my Industrial Design portfolio.
