I’m a mechanically-minded product designer with an obsession for creating beautiful, functional objects.
I independently consult for a variety of clients in a wide range of industries, and it’s the diversity of projects that I’ve worked on that allows me to bring innovative design and mechanical solutions to any project.
I’m based in Rhode Island, but work with clients from coast-to-coast in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and wherever you may be.
DESIGN STRATEGY
Good design isn't random. I've had the privilege of working with some of the world's largest companies to help steer the futures of their brands through research-informed, design-conscious decisions. This is the part of the process where we can really dial in on project direction, and set ourselves up for success.
PRODUCT DESIGN
With projects ranging from lab equipment and digital toys, to lacrosse helmets and pizza boxes, it's the variety of projects that I've worked on that makes me a valuable asset to your team. It's always exciting to draw connections between seemingly unrelated industries, in order to help solve a challenge.
UI+UX Design
In our increasingly digital world, many of the physical products that we use have digital elements. A product can really shine when the physical and digital are developed in tandem. I provide interface wire framing and mockups to make sure that your product tells a cohesive visual story on every front.
MECHANICAL INNOVATION
Many project that I take on require some form of mechanical innovation. I pride myself on blurring the line between industrial design and mechanical engineering. I can conceptualize, visualize, and prototype multiple mechanical solutions to find the right one for your project, factoring for function, complexity, and production cost.
PRODUCT VISUALIZATION
Need photorealistic digital renderings or animations of your products? Whether presenting your product to the world or your company’s exec team, the visualization of a design can be as important as the design itself. I specialize in creating renderings with life-like materials, lighting, and environments, for use in presentations, on product packaging, and on the web.
PROTOTYPING
Prototyping is an important part of the product design process for most projects. No digital rendering can substitute for holding a realistic prototype in your hands. I have in-house prototyping capabilities, as well as a network of vendors with specific capabilities for whatever your project needs are, from one-offs to low volume production.
From young startups, to multi-billion dollar corporations, I have worked with dozens of clients on hundreds of projects. Reach out to see what I can do for you and your business.
Already have an awesome design team? Even better! Some of my best working relationships have been with in-house design and engineering teams that just wanted a fresh perspective, or were up against a tight deadline and required extra bandwidth.
