I believe truly meaningful products are born in the friction between a bold idea and a physical constraint - surviving the journey from a sketchbook to the customer’s hands without losing its soul along the way. As a product designer with a background in materials engineering, I have a passion for designing and building such meaningful products in the physical realm. Early in my career, I realized that engineering and design aren't competing forces, they are two sides of the same coin. The most rigorous engineering gains its purpose when it’s shaped for human use, and the most visionary design finds its strength when it’s rooted in smart manufacturing. I’ve spent the last 5+ years navigating the harmony between these two worlds. My background in engineering allows me to speak the language of manufacturers, while my work as a product designer allows me to advocate for the user. This dual perspective has allowed me to contribute to the entire value chain for dozens of projects, moving from initial concept to final product with precision. By combining engineering rigor with design intuition, I have helped startups primarily in the footwear, apparel and packaging space turn ideas into tangible, market-ready goods. I’ve been both the "boots on the ground" employee and the "outside-eye" consultant, giving me a 360-degree view of the product development lifecycle. I’m always open to collaborating on challenging projects. Feel free to reach me anytime at _Email not available.
