I’m a philosophical thinker. I always try to see meaning in the small things that people say, do, and buy. I have a tendency to learn so much so that even I think that my knowledge seem random. Truthfully, I spend most of my time pondering aesthetics. I wanted to be a multiple disciplinary artist for what felt like a huge chunk of my up bringing -which explains my relatively healthy obsession.
Work history

Industrial Design InternSteelcase
- Grand Rapids, United StatesInternship
I worked there for two years which isn't common. Not only did I work with ever form of designer there, I also interacted with other department leaders and interns. I learned to opperate a 3D printer and a industrial sewing machine in efforts to benefit my team. I gathered research to explore “The What” and “The How” surrounding the whole user experience. To show Ideas I used quick pen sketches, 3D modeling in Fusion 360/SketchUp, and focusing heavily on physical mock-ups. The physical mock-ups were created in a large maker-space environment and the materials I used to do so ranged from condense foam, steel, wood, 3D prints, fiberglass, paint, plexiglass, and fabrics. I currently have two
projects I help bring to life that are being sold out in the market today that debuted at NeoCon 2018 and another project that debuted at NeoCon 2019.
