I tackle technical challenges and find physical solutions that answer business needs and user expectations.

I’ve had the opportunity to develop experiences, processes, and products across a wide variety of industries: laboratory & medical devices (small - large), safety & military equipment, consumer & durable goods. The projects I am most proud of have started out with a strong research component and ended with something people want to use.

• Supporting business development and senior management to identify and describe opportunities

• Collaborating with research teams in conducting sessions and evaluating results for contextual and ethnographic research, as well as anthropometric, ergonomic, and heuristic evaluations

• Worked hand-in-hand with engineering teams on the detailed development involved with commercializing technologies, reducing cost, mitigating risk, and managing quality

While I’ve been a guiding force in development from opportunity identification to manufacturing quality control, I’m most valuable working to sort through the front-end of getting started. Often I’m at the center of integrating requirements into the process of development. I am especially skilled at translating findings from inspiration, research, or technical constraints into compelling solutions.
