I am a passionate product designer and engineer that specializes in creating durable and functional 3D prints via CAD. My expertise stems from a strong background in and love for drafting, machining, engineering, and aviation. I pride myself on my obsessive attention to detail and ability to lose myself in projects. Rest assured, I am a devote follower of the “measure twice, cut once” philosophy. I prefer to personally prototype and test each and every design before giving it my stamp of approval to ensure that every single aspect of my work; from the manufacturing to the consume experience is both carefully tailored my client’s vision and reflects my high standard of quality. If you have a great idea for a product I would love to bring it to life for you!

Most engineers can design it. Most makers can build it. I do both. From ideation, CAD, and simulation to CNC machining, 3D printing, and laser cutting, I can bring your product idea to life. Whether you're looking to develop complex mechatronic systems or simple, everyday products, I can help turn your vision into reality. With an in-house prototyping workshop, two engineering degrees, and years of experience designing and making products for clients as well as my own entrepreneurial ventures, I can move quickly with an eye for the engineering, aesthetic, and business sides of product development. What I Offer: • Ideation & Concept Development - refining your ideas into viable product concepts • CAD Modeling & Simulation (Fusion 360) - creating digital 3D models and testing performance in software • Rapid Prototyping - testing and refining your ideas quickly with CNC machines and 3D printers • Feasibility & Design Analysis - ensuring your design is functional, manufacturable, and cost-effective • Custom parts & One-Off Creations - Need something unique? I can make custom parts and limited-run products tailored to your needs In-House Prototyping Capabilities: • CNC Mill & CNC Lathe • 3D Printing (FDM & SLA Resin) • Laser Cutting and Engraving • Electronics & Soldering • Microcontroller Programming (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.) • Precision Measurement Equipment Having everything in-house means I can move fast with iterating designs, testing ideas, and delivering results efficiently. Why Choose Me: For over 7 years, I've designed, prototyped, and launched a wide range of products across my own businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. Since starting my first physical product business in 2021, I've sold 8,000+ products with a 4.9/5 rating across 1,000+ reviews. I understand the importance of running an efficient business without compromising quality, and I bring that experience to every project I take on. Education: • M.S. Robotics Engineering - Colorado School of Mines • B.S. Mechanical Engineering - Colorado School of Mines • A.A. Visual Arts This mix of engineering and art gives me a unique perspective that merges technical knowledge with aesthetic design. My engineering studies taught me manufacturing processes, design for manufacturing, control systems, mechatronics, machine learning, and more, while my art background sharpened my eye for form, composition, and visual communication which is essential for both great product design and effective marketing. If you’re looking for someone who can think creatively, design intelligently, and build practically all while keeping your goals and budget in mind, I’d love to chat about your project.

I currently work as the Head of Advanced Research and Development for a mid-sized defense robotics company and I'm seeking advisory/management roles for companies developing new products or services in the civilian/military robotics space. Strengths: Product Development Lifecycle - Initial Concept to Mass Production Robotics (ROS, Python, C++, hardware) AI/Machine Learning Mechanical Design and Analysis (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, FEA/FEM) Electronics (PCBA Schematics/Layout, Embedded Linux, Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi) Data Analysis (Python & Matlab) I am a mechanical engineer with a strong robotics and computers background. I received a degree from California Polytechnic State University in mechanical engineering and a Masters degree in Robotics from the University of Colorado Boulder. I have 13 years of work experience between the automotive and robotics industries. I have experience working on small, fast moving, interdisciplinary engineering teams tackling projects in a variety of engineering disciplines including: robotics (ROS), CAD (SolidWorks), finite element analysis (Abaqus FEA), and programming (Matlab, Python, C++). I take pride in detailed, thorough, and accurate work, and I am always quick to learn something new if I think it will improve the product or processes. I prefer to take the time upfront to build tools that facilitate flexibility later in the design/development process than to rush through a design only to rework it later. This has served me well in industry. For 3.5 years I worked in a design and analysis role in the aftermarket automotive suspension industry on safety-critical components. I have experience integrating product design with marketing from early stages of development and I'm willing to work closely with a marketing or sales team to bring the right product to market. More recently, I've been heavily involved in robotics companies using ROS with Machine Learning to perform autonomous driving tasks. I work frequently with the following tools and architectures: Python C++ ROS Digital and Analog Sensors Nvidia Jetson Arduino Raspberry Pi Electric Motors (and servos) Desktop and Embedded Linux Pneumatics Hydraulics My skills are broad and my system level understanding of robotic and electro-mechanical systems will help you get that first prototype out the door. Please reach out and we can talk about taking on your project!
