Since graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005 with a BFA in Industrial Design I have quickly gained valuable experience as a designer and researcher. I have acquired a diverse set of methods and strategies that allow me to approach any design challenge with confidence. My goal is to arrive at an innovative and attractive solution that adds value for the user and builds upon the brand integrity of the client.
