I believe that there is beauty in simplicity. With every project I take

on, I focus on finding a creative solution that eectively combines

functionality, feasibility, and aesthetic appeal. Ive found that simple

and logical designs can harness these qualities with less material and

more ecient manufacturing techniques. I feel that my strengths are

in CAD modeling, concept rendering, modelmaking, and maintaining

a clear and thoughtful concept direction throughout the design process.
