I am an award-winning Industrial Designer with 12+ years of experience turning ideas into manufacturable products. I specialize in complex organic surface modeling, CAD, 3D printing, prototyping, and delivering manufacturable components and market-ready solutions. I have collaborated on soft goods and fabric accessories for global brands including Logitech, Nikon, Ultimate Ears, Legion and JBL, with a track record of 50+ client projects, 3D printing-driven cost savings (notably a 90% launch cost reduction) and several Amazon FBA launches. I combine design craft with business execution, guiding projects from sketch to factory to market. Currently I lead Openend Studio, delivering award-winning products and driving end-to-end concept design, CAD modeling, prototyping, supplier sourcing, and market launch. I’ve turned complex concepts into manufacturable CAD and optimized production for clean CNC and 3D printing workflows, cutting tooling risks and lead times. I’ve also delivered factory-ready soft goods across bags and backpacks, with supplier coordination across Europe and Asia, and led multiple Amazon launches with end-to-end operations.
