Industrial Design has been a passion of mine since before I actually knew what it was.

When I was a kid, I’d constantly throw together what to my young mind were revolutionary products. From sticking flashlights to the sides of my glasses, to ripping apart and modifying nerf guns, I was always iterating.

In high school shop classes I had access to state of the art manufacturing tools, which allowed me to develop my interests into actual skills. I learned CAD, operation of laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC machines, and more. As my passion grew, I taught myself 3D modeling with tools like Shapr3D, Blender, and Revit.(I’ve since moved on to SolidWorks and KeyShot)

I’m now working towards my Bachelors in Product Design at CCAD, developing these skills further.
