Senior Industrial Designer at Innovative Design Labs

Engineering & Production

<p>As a professional designer since 2010, I’ve found that my biggest passion in design lies not only within the realm of designing the successful product but within the ability to collaborate and share these skills with other designers and working professionals. Product Design itself is such a fluid movement of tasks that I equate it to one of my other passions, skiing, and snowboarding: No matter how many years you’ve been doing, no matter the level of skill, you must always go into a new challenge reading your surroundings and staying humble. Then and only then can you truly enjoy the experience and share in its every nuance to succeed.</p>
