I am a designer and educator specialising in the human-centered design of products and services. I'm a Fulbright alumnus, and hold an MFA (summa cum laude) in Industrial Design from Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD).
I’m currently a Partner at Ideate Innovation, where I’m responsible for project planning and delivery, long term business strategy, business development, firm outreach and employee welfare. I have previously led design teams at Xavor Corporation and Ricult Inc.
As a design consultant, I have worked on branding, illustration, user experience and industrial design projects with clients like the World Bank, Dolby Labs, Grid Impact, Coke USA, Working Class Studio, and Innovations for Poverty Alleviation Lab (IPAL).
Here are some of my recent posts and discussions about design:
