SOLVE FOR X

Human Centered Design

I am a product designer and problem solver. I help brands discover creative solutions to sidestep competition and redefine categories. I research to understand trends and identify pain-points then quickly visualize concepts to bring ideas to life. From concept art to prototyping to production, I can support product creation at every stage.

 
 

CONCEPT

DESIGN

Sketching - Digital Painting - Brainstorming

I love sketching rapid-fire ideas collaboratively and rendering detailed digital illustrations. Informed by my years of production experience, careful research, and an understanding of design trends, I will work to translate your vision into images that surprise and inspire.

 
 

FABRICATION

Laser Cutting - 3D Printing - CNC - Molding - Cut&Sew - Modeling

At my studio in Portland OR, I have 3D printing, molding, laser cutting, fabrication, and cut & sew capabilities as well as a broad network of local collaborators to prototype a wide range of physical products. Depending on the budget and scope, I can help with everything from hand-making prototypes with plastic scraps and superglue, to utilizing the latest technologies to create a beautiful working model. I pride myself on being able to stretch a budget and get world-class results.

 
 

TECHNICAL DESIGN

Tech Packs - Technical Illustration - Pattern Revisions - CAD

Once a design satisfies all the requirements and is given the nod to move on to manufacturing, I can create detailed documents to describe and specify materials, construction, and dimensions. A clear and concise tech pack will always result in a superior product.

 
 

GRAPHICS

Marketing Collateral - Packaging - Display - Colorways - Screenprint - Engineered Mesh - Technical Knit - Vehicle Wraps

The blending of fashion and sports has made colors and graphics more critical than ever. Having a trend-right, cohesive plan for colors and materials can both save cost and improve sales. I can plan and execute color and graphic merchandising in a wide array of processes for both soft and hard goods.
