About

Designing a better future.

 

My design ethos is simple: I leverage design to [re]connect people to the joy of everyday life.

I’m a futurist who successfully converts innovative concepts into award-winning products, spaces and experiences.

While my career spans across industries and applications, my dedication to developing desirable, human-centered solutions remains consistent.

As a designer, I focus on the intersection of simplicity, joy and sustainability.

As Design Director at Texino, I oversaw the brands’ expansion from high-end RV builds into that of a mobile service provider: providing intimate and welcoming vehicles and spaces for clients in Medical, Food and Hospitality.

I co-found a clean-tech e-bikeshare start-up aimed at adding joy to the first/final mile commute, developed ACES (Autonomous, Connected, Shared, Electric) branded strategies and experiences with think-tanks and automotive OEM's, and designed modular greenhouses that re-connect dwellers to an appreciation to the natural systems that sustain their livelihood.

As a thought leader, I specialize in speaking about the future of mobility. I've served on panels at several esteemed thought leadership events, ranging from SXSW Eco, Shanghai Biennale, Art Center Sustainability Summit, and Innovate Pasadena.

As a Solutions Architect at 3DEXCITE, one of the world’s leading CGI Marketing Companies, I worked with clients across industries to adopt new technologies and workflows by helping them identify, define and produce innovative CAD-based marketing assets and experiences.

Born in Washington DC, I hold degrees both from Georgetown University and Art Center College of Design. I currently reside and work in Los Angeles.
