I'm a born and bred fourth generation Californian based in Seattle, WA working as a Senior Industrial Designer in the Reality Labs at Meta. I've had the pleasure to work with a wide variety of clients over the past 20 years that span food service, luxury camping, enterprise computing, wellness, beauty care, material innovation, audio and consumer electronics. I've been lucky to work with both Fortune 100 companies and start-ups alike including Bang and Olufsen, Bose, Corning, Dolby, Google, HP, IKEA, Intel, Jabra, P&G, Snow Peak and Sonos. I taught for over 10 years as an adjunct professor at my Alma Mater, California College of the Arts.
