Design is more than a glossy render—it’s clarity with impact, turning noise into signal. I immerse myself in the problem, partner across disciplines, and shape ideas into products that are purposeful, manufacturable and strengthen the specific business sector.

Achievements

with the backing of an international team!

  • I’m a Senior Industrial Designer with 8+ years of experience creating award-winning consumer electronics that combine craft excellence with business impact. My work has contributed to half a billion dollars in revenue and millions of units shipped, spanning headsets, phones, webcams, and collaboration devices.

Whether it’s running cross-functional sprints, mentoring junior designers, or collaborating daily with overseas suppliers, I bring a mix of craft, strategy, and execution rigor to every project to ensure the best possible outcome.

  • This is demonstrated at my tenure at Cisco, where I’ve been responsible for launching dozens of products while building processes for managing color and DFM that scaled across the company, globally.

  • I am a full stack designer, and specialize in detail design, and DFM execution, ensuring design intent is carried through to manufacturable, premium-quality products.

  • I am not afraid to step outside the guardrails and help with art direction, video shoots and demos—anything to better the product.

Recomendations

    Gavin Ivester | VP of Design, Collaboration @ Cisco

    Some designers talk a good game— high theory, little execution.

    Shane ships product. He gets it.

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shane as he drove a full product line through two manufacturing partners and dozens of stakeholders to a successful launch of super high quality hardware. It took open, proactive, crossfunctional collaboration, a nearly demonic attention to detail, and persistence— all strong points for Shane. He represents design interests with real respect and curiosity, which makes him both easy to work with and persuasive. Unsurprisingly, he’s also a nice person with real integrity. He’s too conscientious to be interested in shortcuts.

    Strongly recommend.

    Sebastian Olsson | Lead Industrial Designer @ Cisco

    I had the pleasure of working closely with Shane on two pivotal projects at Cisco: the definition of a new design language and a groundbreaking product exploration. I saw firsthand his unique blend of collaborative spirit and complete autonomy.

    Shane's ability to quickly generate a high volume of concepts during the early stages of a project is truly impressive. His ability to move from high-speed concept generation to meticulous detailing, producing stunning visualizations and renderings in a short time, makes him a versatile and highly effective designer. He has an exceptional eye for detail, elevating designs to the next level while considering all factors, including manufacturability.

    I've seen him successfully drive entire projects from start to finish, working closely with suppliers to deliver some of our most sold products. He consistently delivers iconic, recognizable products. Shane is an outstanding designer and a valuable asset to any team.

  • John Reeder | VP of Product Management @ Cisco

    Shane worked with myself and the product management very closely over the last 7 years. He has grown so much from coming in as an intern and then leading our most important program in 10 years.

    Always delivered quality within tight timeliness and went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome amid a global team. He has a natural eye for quality, seeing the tiniest blemish or miss alignment, and pushing the team to meet his high standards for excellence.

    Tight collaboration with the Product Management to define problems, flush out concepts and find breaking points of assumptions.

    Put the customer's viewpoint first and pushed for validation to ensure best possible user experience.

    Shane is an awesome person, partner and designer that would make any team better.

He brings both strategic insight and practical know-how to every discussion, which makes him an invaluable contributor.

    Equally important, Shane is a natural collaborator. He approaches teamwork with genuine enthusiasm, always eager to support colleagues and move projects forward together. His combination of expertise and team-oriented mindset makes him a trusted partner.

He has outstanding design vision, attention to detail, and mechanical design knowledge which ensures his design concepts easily move into the production phase. He excels at cross-functional collaboration and is an all-around nice person to work with as well.

He is comfortable working with engineering and development partners to find the best possible product solutions, and demonstrated strong leadership skills managing design goals and priorities in projects.

    Avery Katz | Sr. Interaction/UI Designer

    I worked closely with Shane for many years at Cisco. What stands out most to me is his composure under pressure, skills navigating trade-offs (and providing clever cost-cutting solutions), and extensive experience working with overseas suppliers and manufacturers. He also isn’t the type to wait for problems to escalate and is proactive in noticing and addressing potential concerns.

    Shane is a valuable addition to any design team and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

    Shane is an outstanding: detail oriented designer

    During my time at Cisco I witnessed his meticulous commitment to nailing every detail and documenting process. Where other designers say good enough, Shane drills down deeper. He helped lead and ship many products at Webex. Eventually becoming the de facto brain trust of every detail of the Webex design language.

    Aside from his well rounded DFM chops and industrial design skill, Shane also navigates difficult challenges and cross functional teams well. He interfaced with the Cisco organization well while navigating the ever changing landscape of product development and suppliers.

    Any team would be lucky to have him, he instantly adds value to any team.
