About Me
About Me
I live in Brooklyn, New York with my girlfriend and our dog. I love hockey, all types of design, mechanical engineering, transportation, and modern history. I am pretty opinionated about design, policy, art, and hockey. In my free time I enjoy making things like RC cars, robots, and music (and watching hockey).
I value design that is considerate, intentional, and unobtrusive, but still allows people to use it in new ways that we as designers may not have intended, but can learn from.
My background is in industrial design. I switched from engineering to design after my first year of college because I was good at visualizing things but bad at math.
Goal
My goal is to design products that make people’s lives better.

I have worked with a range of clients from mature companies with large platforms to small start-ups focused on new concepts. Industries included financial technology, insurance, health, and wellness.
Design Intern | September 2015 – December 2015
I learned the fundamental skills and techniques to transition from industrial to digital design. I assisted with internal design assets and helped with company events. I also interacted directly with clients, other designers, and managers by participating in ideation workshops.
