•Drafted intricate design plans utilizing software such as SolidWorks, ensuring the fusion of aesthetics and functionality in every project as well as reducing design iteration time. Enhanced fabrication approaches, decreasing project completion time by 20%.•Introduced artistic elements to untapped markets, leading to a 25% increase in the average selling price of custom pieces.•Selected projects include a jewelry box, chessboard, and various cutting boards. Custom commission pieces for interested clientele designed and delivered. Current interest in intricate patterning and mosaic design.

•Trained dozens of members in woodshop operations, reducing learning curve difficulties, and ensured the following of safety protocols.•Quickly grasped wood processing workflows and initiated process improvement discussions within the team. Led the development of innovative solutions, including scrap reclamation efforts and jig production, resulting in a 10% reduction in material waste.•Demonstrated a strong capacity to adapt by deriving solutions to unforeseen production concerns. Maintained high levels of customer satisfaction by consulting patrons regarding optimal project fabrication processes and attending to their concerns.

•Drafted and pitched a research proposal to various potential advisors for departmental approval and sponsorship. Led a team of 3 in the design, manufacturing, experimentation, and analysis of a novel liquid armor prototype. See "Liquid Armor Design Upgrade" in Project section for details.•Drafted biweekly status reports and presentations for both advisory and departmental hearings and kept track of project goals through the use of gantt charts. Minimized deviations in progress by dynamically reprioritizing tasks.•Oversaw drafting and finalization of various internal and public periodicals, including a design brochure entry, presentations, critical design report, final design report, promotional videos, and final research poster.

•Collaborated with team members to draft a new fin-can bracket design that would reduce weight and increase aerodynamic efficiency.•Conducted research on carbon fiber layups to develop lighter bulkheads. Experimented with a 3-D printed honeycomb-shaped core to mimic typical aramid materials used to imbue internal resilience within the composite matrix. Resulted in a 40% reduction in mass.•Led administrative appeal to build rocket motors in-house by compiling and presenting relevant safety standards and restrictions on propellent mixing, ensuring departmental approval of the project.
