About

I’m a furniture and product designer with more than 20 years of experience developing products and environments for workplace, education, retail, and residential markets.

My work sits between design and engineering. I develop concepts, refine form and function, build robust CAD models, resolve materials and construction, and carry products through documentation, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and production. I’m most interested in furniture that has a clear reason to exist—products that improve how people work, learn, and interact with their environment.

Most recently, as a Senior Product Design Engineer at Lakeshore Learning, I helped develop modular classroom furniture and sensory products manufactured at scale, working across plywood, steel, upholstery, foam, plastics, and integrated electronics. My previous work includes configurable workplace systems, custom furniture, lighting, architectural interiors, and technically demanding installations for commercial and residential clients.

I work primarily in SolidWorks and Rhino, with deep experience in design engineering, technical drawing packages, BOM development, DFM, manufacturing coordination, vendor communication, quality control, and compliance testing. I’m a Certified SolidWorks Professional.

I'm also exploring AI-assisted design and engineering workflows, with particular interest in geometric fidelity, CAD automation, and evaluating generative tools against professional production standards.

My approach is straightforward: design the idea, understand how it works, and stay involved until it can actually be made well.

Based in Los Angeles.
