Designing for impact, across disciplines and decades.

I’ve been working in the design industry since 1999, contributing to a wide range of products and services across homewares, consumer electronics, medical devices, hospitality, transportation, and consumer goods. My experience spans both large corporations and nimble innovation studios, shaping work that is thoughtful, functional, and built to last.

I currently serve as a contract Design Director at Stellara Labs, where we’re developing wearable propulsion systems for space tourism and zero-gravity environments. I lead design strategy while collaborating across engineering and business teams to bring new concepts to life under real-world constraints.

I bring a hands-on, empathetic approach to leadership—often described as a “player-coach”—and value the balance between craft, communication, and creative direction. I work with early-stage founders as well as established corporations, helping teams translate vision into action across industrial design, AI-enhanced systems, and future-forward product strategy. Whether guiding innovation sprints or shaping long-term roadmaps, my focus is on delivering thoughtful design that scales and endures.

Whether I’m developing new tools, mentoring the next wave of entrepreneurs, or sketching the future of flight, curation remains central to my practice: knowing what to make, why it matters, and how it fits into the world we’re building. here

Process

Design, at its core, is about applying the right insights at the right moment. I believe in being involved from start to finish—shaping early concepts, guiding development, and ensuring every detail serves a purpose. As a strategic thinker, I apply design thinking not just to products but also to systems, services, and stories.

Consumer Insights
True insight goes deeper than asking what people want—it's about uncovering the needs they can’t always articulate. I look for the unspoken, the emotional drivers, and the behaviors that shape better solutions.

Product Strategy
Design doesn’t stop at form. Great design aligns with business goals, earns trust in the market, and shifts how a brand is perceived. My focus is on building design that works for users, for the brand, and for what’s next.

Industrial Design
Execution is where it becomes real. I turn ideas into objects that feel inevitable—products you reach for daily, and experiences that leave a lasting mark. It’s where craft meets consequence.
