I am a design engineer well versed in developing and launching innovative physical products.
I combine a deep technical background in engineering and manufacturing with a user centered approach honed by years at IDEO.
At IDEO I currently lead interdisciplinary teams of designers, engineers, researchers, and strategists to conceptualize, develop, and de-risk innovative technologies across a wide range of industries, including everything from surgical robots to supersonic aircraft.
I work with Fortune 500 companies and early stage startups to bring ideas from concept to production.
Iodyne
Iodyne saw the chance to unlock a new level of performance using a cutting edge piezo electric airflow generator.
They came to IDEO to imagine how users could interact with and harness this ground breaking technology.
Next Generation Tourniquet
These tourniquets are produced in the millions and are standard issue in every US military medical kit and used by every firefighter, policeman, and EMT.
Long Acting Drug Delivery
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded the development of a subcutaneous drug delivery device for implanting long acting medications aimed at preventing diseases including HIV and Malaria.
Americas Cup Racing Yachts
I worked for several years as a mechanical engineer and draftsman for Artemis Racing - the Swedish challenger for the 34th Americas Cup held in Bermuda.
Tesla Motors
I interned twice with the vehicle engineering team at Tesla Motors during the development of the Model S and Model X.
Rapid Diagnostics
Everyone learned how to use a LFT (lateral flow test) during the pandemic.
One of the largest medical device companies in the world came to IDEO to help them develop the next gen test.
Wearables
Developing the next gen ecosystem of diabetes care devices including wearable insulin pumps and continuous blood glucose monitors.
MOOOI
IDEO and Dutch design house - MOOOI - collaborated on an exhibit for the Milan Design Week in 2023 with these emotive smoke ring blowing maccheroni shaped robots.
Bullet Proof Commuter
My sister moved back to Boston and asked if I could design and build her a bike that she could commute on year round.
The result was a rust proof titanium frame, grease free belt drive, maintenance free internal gear box, self charging head light, and studded snow tires.
Portrait Photography
Photography has always been a part of my breadth of craft. I use it as a story telling tool for my design work and beyond.
Toy Design
IDEO has a team of toy inventors and between large corporate company projects I have developed a number of concepts with them.
