The most important thing to know about me as a professional is my passion for creating products. This is something I love to do and take very seriously. I do not want to do just what is necessary to collect a check, my goal is to deliver above and beyond expectations to make something we can all be very proud of. I've been extremely fortunate to have worked on a broad array of products in many industries over the course of my career. I've found that my passion is in consumer product development because it requires thinking deeply about all aspects of the user experience. Thoughtful and elegant design is central to the products I'm most proud to have collaborated on including the Indose Vaporizer, Ember Mug, Travel Mug², iPhone X, iPhone 6S Plus, and Apple Watch Series 4. I am an expert in product design and validation. Experienced in complex integrated designs, DOEs, risk mitigation, FMEA, design for manufacturability, and design for reliability. Familiar with a wide array of materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes from composite optical stacks to sheet metal and everything in between. Natural team leader that understands strong relationships within teams, cross functionally, and with vendors are essential to designing and delivering any product.
