I'm an award-winning Outdoor equipment designer with business management and strategic planning skills. I assemble diverse teams. I find product solutions though consumer engagement, ideation, collaboration, prototyping, critiquing, and testing. I empower my teams by collaborating to clarify expectations, set manageable timeframes, and support the teams needs though out the process. I'm helping to reduce the negative externalities in the Outdoor industry, with smart design that reduces sample iterations, maximizes material consumption, and promotes best practices for raw materials and finishes. It takes a team willing to take risks to bring better products to market and so I foster a supportive culture of creativity.

I love the design process, identifying product opportunities, meeting with end users, finding solutions though ideation, collaboration, prototyping, critique, and testing. I'm in this because I want to help make a meaningful contribution to our global community and having fun in the process.
