For the last eight years I’ve been deeply immersed in personal electric mobility, working at small and medium startups that have shaped my approach to design. These experiences have given me a holistic understanding of the product development process, from concept to production. Great design requires problem-solving, user insight, and adaptability – skills I’ve honed by wearing many hats. Each challenge has made me a stronger, more versatile designer and leader.

This journey has also taken me across the world. I’ve traveled to China and Taiwan over a dozen times, collaborating with vendors, consulting on projects, and working directly in factories. Seeing the products I’ve designed come to life on the manufacturing floor has given me a deep, firsthand understanding of production processes and constraints that can’t be learned any other way.

But my passion for making doesn’t stop at work. I have an insatiable need to build, whether it’s furniture, ceramics, or building a custom house. Working with my hands shapes how I see the world and deeply influences my design philosophy – because great design isn’t just about how something looks, but how it’s made, how it’s used, and how it fits into people’s lives.
