Previously Lead Industrial Designer at Jupe Inc.
I am an industrial designer driven by a passion for fine craftsmanship, outdoor adventure, and innovative design. My career has included consultancy work, where I designed products across industries such as consumer electronics, home goods, office spaces, and the automotive industry. At Jupe, a startup addressing the housing crisis, I served as Lead Industrial Designer, creating deployable living structures that combined functionality with thoughtful design. Currently, as the Design for Manufacturing Lead at Model No. Furniture, I specialize in redesigning concepts to meet manufacturing capabilities, ergonomic standards, and structural requirements. My approach seamlessly bridges the shop floor and design studio, ensuring that craftsmanship and practicality work hand-in-hand to create exceptional results. Outside of work, I’m inspired by nature, whether I’m cycling or skiing, and I carry that inspiration into my design process to create purposeful, meaningful products.
