Küryakyn is a well known company which deals in motorcycle accessories for Harley Davidson and many metric motorcycles. They are a fantastic company that believes in product, this sentiment goes right to the top. It is an ongoing pleasure to work with Küryakyn.I am pleased to announce after a lot of ongoing hard work and team effort, the launch of the XKürsion line of motorcycle luggage. As a principal designer of this line, I worked alongside the entire Kürakyn design and development team to put together a modern line of motorcycle luggage. This task was both technically and logistically challenging. The strict criteria for both aesthetics and function made this project one of the more rewarding of my career to take on.

At long last, I'm happy to share the 'Voyager' line of wax canvas / leather motorcycle bags I teamed up to produce for Burly Brand! This is the first bag line the company has ever produced so the challenges we faced extended well beyond traditional roles. We had to build everything from the ground up but in doing so, I believe we've been able to produce a line that people are going to love. This process not only involved challenging the motorcycle bag market with something that combines innovation with classic styling but it involved countless hours spent training several factories to meet very demanding technical and quality standards. While it was a lot of work, I've never been more proud to associate myself with such a quality-forward line of products. People are going to love these bags. My heartfelt thanks goes out to the amazing team at Burly who are all true enthusiasts. They made sure this line was well tested through well over 10,000 miles of riding. I must also extend credit to the prevailing vision of David Zemla, the tireless extra hours from Sean Delshadi and of course the unmatched hands-on engineering skills of Jim Hogg, who we sadly lost in 2016. His legacy will live on in these products. About Burly: Burly Brand is a motorcycle aftermarket parts supplier located south of LA in La Palma, Ca. They specialize on supplying high quality yet affordable parts to a growing motorcycle culture who mainly modify Harley Davidson Sportster models. They offer handle bars, shocks, "slam"​ kits, cable kits, sissy bars, clutches, seats, pegs and soon, the category I have been spearheading. I never post details until production has run so stay tuned on this one, it's going to be a good one!

This was a fun, quick project I did for a very different, unlikely client. I designed a very feminine / fashion focused GWP bag for a women's hair removal device. Very different from my day to day but a fun challenge and great learning experience! Last I've heard the final product did go into production but I cannot seem to find press on it. If I do, I will post.

While no product has yet to be released, I found the experience to be very positive. I worked with the team at Reliance to develop several lines of safety arrest harnesses and traveled overseas on two separate occasions to manage the process. I am proud of the work we did in spite of the fact the designs did not come to fruition. I hope to someday soon work with this team to pick up where we left off.
