Design Journey

My career in design has been both diverse and dynamic. I began my journey at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and further honed my skills at the College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit, Michigan, both premier institutions for transportation design.

Starting at Ford Motor Company, I immersed myself in automotive and product design, with international assignments in England and Brazil enriching my global perspective.

As a Design Manager, I have led multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative and impactful design solutions. My leadership style emphasizes collaboration, creativity, and a keen attention to detail, ensuring that every project not only meets but exceeds expectations. I thrive on mentoring young designers and fostering an environment where creativity can flourish.

My expertise extends beyond industry work; I have also shared my passion as an adjunct professor at CCS, and University of Michigan, bridging the gap between theory and practical application for the next generation of designers.

My interests span multiple disciplines, including: Transportation Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, Furniture Design, Graphic Design, UX/UI Design, Motion Graphics, Exhibit Design, and Branding.

Driven by curiosity and a commitment to excellence, my work is a blend of innovation, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, solidifying my reputation as a versatile and forward-thinking designer.
