About

 

I am a mechanical engineer with a focus in product design. I graduated from Rice University with a B.S. in mechanical engineering in 2018, and I’ve been designing innovative products ever since.

On the professional sphere, I work in client-based consulting bringing people’s product ideas into reality. I’ve worked on projects at any stage from napkin sketch to overseas manufacturing. Unfortunately very few of my professional projects can end up on this website, but products I’ve designed have ended up in test labs, Digikey, hospitals, and submerged in the Arctic ocean. Drop a message if you’d like to talk more.

A few weeks after graduating, I rehomed a lasercutter that fell out the back of a truck, and never looked back. This has led to many questionable but entertaining artistic endeavors in my free time, some of which have found their way onto this website. My personal projects reflect more whimsy than my professional endeavors, but I use my engineering background to ensure that my projects are thoughtful, useful, and fun to use.

Currently I live in sunny Boulder, Colorado, where I do the things every Boulderite seems to love (hiking, climbing, moody photography, not skiing), just a little slower than everyone else.
