I champion the user through the industrial design of medical products; with a focus on balancing function with usability and aesthetics. I strive to blend creative problem-solving, mastery of design principles, and practical knowledge of engineering and manufacturing processes. My day-to-day at Blur was spent;- managing projects from beginning to end, including budgeting, time tracking, scheduling, and stakeholder relationships - leading and participating in concept brainstorming… Show more I champion the user through the industrial design of medical products; with a focus on balancing function with usability and aesthetics.

I started Revision with my partner Nathan McCracken as a creative outlet for design and development. A way to bring all of the ideas and inspirations we have outside of our day jobs to life. For us, there’s nothing better than seeing something you designed make it into the hands of real people, making a difference in their lives. At Revision I;• collaboratively design all products from initial idea through to manufacture and marketing including, packaging, production quotes, website… Show more I started Revision with my partner Nathan McCracken as a creative outlet for design and development.
