Before recently transitioning into academia in 2015, I worked as a professional in the Industrial Design industry for over a decade. I’ve designed a range of products including power tools, automotive shop equipment, furniture, electronics & electronics accessories, medical equipment and more. I’ve worked in both the corporate and consulting design worlds and ran a design consultancy, Hybrid Design, with my brother from 2005 – 2012. Most recently, I left my position as a Senior Industrial Designer at Otterbox in Fort Collins, Colorado to take an assistant professor position at the Auburn University School of Industrial and Graphic Design, where I also received my Master’s degree in Industrial Design in 2003. I have enjoyed teaching a range of studio and lecture classes including a Design Foundations studio, corporate sponsored studios, Senior Thesis Studio, Portfolio, Anthropometry and Ergonomics, as well as Sketching and Marker Rendering. I highly value the design education and the continual learning that I gain by being a professor of industrial design.
