I am a designer at Argenta Park, where I seek to improve user experiences through a unique understanding of the dynamics of people and objects in space that I have come about from a misspent youth of skateboarding and hip-hop.
I have contributed to the design and development of numerous products over the last decade, from kitchen tools and appliances for KitchenAid and Jenn-Air, to an active-seat called Buoy for turnstone, a Steelcase brand. Most recently, I helped design and develop a flexible, multi-purpose chair called Shortcut in addition to lounge setting extensions to the popular Campfire line for turnstone.
I have a deep curiosity for people, design, music, dance, art, craft, mass-produced objects, media, popular culture, and finding the relationships occurring between any and all of the aforementioned.
