Throughout my life, I’ve grappled with a healthy obsession; objects that move people.
Things with wheels, wings, or hulls. Powered by engines, motors, turbines, or rockets.
Products that excite their users and enable greater freedom of mobility.
I began using 3-D software in high school, and learned that I could visualize objects before building them.
Using AutoCad, I designed our only Moonbuggy to successfully finish NASA’s obstacle course.
I also sourced suspension and drive components, and the class built and competed with it. Fantastic experience.
Shortly after, I was introduced to Industrial Design and College for Creative Studies.
Early into my formal design education, I recognized the capability of Alias and pursued it as a focus of my career.
I earned my BFA in Transportation Design from CCS, spring of 2011. Began work three days later.
Harnessing Alias software since 2008, I have learned to efficiently execute complex and beautiful surface data.
I possess the eye of a designer and the mind of a modeler. Able to easily interpret a designer’s vision.
Capable of solving any problem that inevitably arises from objects of such complex nature.
Critical enough to work around physical limitations and manufacturing requirements.
I am an expert Alias NURBS modeler with over a decade of professional experience.
That experience covers every part of the product development process. Including but not limited to:
Concept and sketch modeling
Digital and Physical evaluation models
Scan surfacing
Surface refinement
Production Class-A surface
B-side attachment strategy and execution
Part tooling utilizing various manufacturing techniques
Aerodynamic study and design solutions
Full-scale concept models
Alias trainings and tutorials
Sketching, rendering, problem solving
Working effectively in cross-functional environments
Communicating effectively as a member of diverse and talented teams
I also have experience with these tools:
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Autodesk Alias Sub-D, VRED, Keyshot, Catia, Solidworks, Microsoft Office
