3D Design Lead

Creative & Design

As an Industrial designer, 3D visualization expert, CAD modeler, and video creator, I am comfortable working in several
different facets of the creative process. I've been responsible for setting up teams in all my roles. I am able to implement
new workflows quickly and run autonomously. My diverse work background has allowed me to adapt and succeed in
many different situations. I thrive on the discovery and curiosity involved in solving new and difficult problems.

Beyond my passion for design, I have a love for teaching and inspiring those around me. As a lead role, I focus on what
makes every individual designer unique and use that in creative directing, mentoring and empowering. I pride myself on
having a high sensitivity to detail and execution. I like to keep things clear, simple and easy to understand. These are the
hallmarks of what I consider strong collaborative design.
