About

about

Senior Design Professional with over 25 years of product design and development experience in the sporting goods industry, specializing in head protection and hard goods. I bring a holistic approach to design and innovation that consistently delivers market-winning results.

My career has centered on creating innovative, high-performance products that balance design excellence, manufacturability, and business objectives. I have a strong ability to craft balanced, consumer-relevant 3D forms that resonate with their intended audience.

As a design leader, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing cross-functional teams—including Industrial Design, CMF Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Development, Test Engineering, Prototyping, and Manufacturing—through every stage of the process, from concept to production.

My design philosophy is rooted in understanding the end user’s perspective, challenging convention, and driving meaningful innovation. With extensive hands-on experience developing products alongside elite professional athletes, I bring deep insight into performance-driven design. I also have a proven ability to identify emerging categories and opportunities through a combination of market research, trend analysis, and intuition.
