I am the product and visualization design lead. I direct our 3D design and modeling capabilities. Having managed product development teams for various disciplines, including; brand development, new to market launches, customer experiences engagement & display, electrical & mechanical engineering, user interface, prototype development, and plastic/metal part manufacturing, I embrace a diverse range of projects at Linespace. A through line of brand communication is present and forefront in my work. With a childhood fascination for cars, I explored studies in transportation design, but with further exploration found industrial design—its multi-disciplinary nature appealed to my greater inclination for variety. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from the Center of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan and operated freelance design practice before founding Linespace. As a way to give back, and keep myself up to date and connect & mentor with the design community I also teach Industrial Design at California State University Long Beach.
