I’m an Experience Design Specialist and classically trained Industrial Designer with a proven track record of successful product development from concept through production.
As a Principal User Experience Designer with the Autodesk automotive team, I concepted and designed next-generation design tools and creative asset management systems for Honda, GM, FCA Group, Ford, Tesla, Nissan, BMW, VW Group, Local Motors, Renault, Faraday and Future, Ferrari, and Apple. I am currently looking for new opportunities in Experience or Industrial Design and am specifically interested in positions that will allow me to synergistically leverage both areas of expertise.
My work experience includes consultant and corporate environments. In both settings I have been a key contributor in delivering design innovation with sensitivities for project scope, timelines and budgets. I have a keen sense of cultural and technological trends and how they can impact the many facets of user-centered design.
