Industrial designer & design leader

Physical experiences designed for the real world.

I'm an industrial designer by training. For more than 25 years I've designed exhibits, attractions, and built environments, then carried them through 3D development, prototyping, engineering coordination, fabrication, and installation.

Carilion Children's · Roanoke, VA

A six-panel display wall with kiosk and mobile input, designed so children of any age or ability can take part from a pediatric waiting room.

From first sketch to final install

My industrial design training shapes every project: how a thing is built, what it's made of, and how it holds up in daily use matter as much as how it looks.

Concept development

  • Industrial design
  • Ideation and sketching
  • Experience and exhibit design

3D design and prototyping

  • SolidWorks modeling
  • 3D visualization
  • Mockups and iterative testing

Materials and fabrication

  • Materials and finishes
  • Fabrication methods
  • Constructability and value engineering

Delivery and installation

  • Engineering coordination
  • Production oversight
  • Installation and site support
Tools SolidWorks · AutoCAD · SketchUp · Revit · 3D Studio Max · Adobe Creative Suite · Unreal / Unity

I lead teams through the design and delivery of physical experiences.

As Executive Creative Director at Dimensional Innovations, I led a 20-person multidisciplinary team of designers working alongside engineering, fabrication, and technology partners.

That meant design direction and mentoring, scheduling and resource planning, client presentations, and keeping creative intent intact through engineering, production, and installation.
