Design is more than a glossy render. It is a way of filtering through the noise and finding the clearest signal.
The end result must have purpose and a tangible impact: be it a new product with novel features, an improvement to usability or a refresh to breathe life into a stagnant product segment.
My process involves diving deep in the early stages, becoming the subject matter expert and working closely with the engineering, supply chain & product management disciplines to truly understand the problem, constraints and realities to create a successful and meaningful product that has impact to the end user.
Outside of design, you’ll find me on track, honing my racecraft or finding new hidden culinary gems ;)
Feel free to reach out on design, opportunities, cars, racing, anything :)
