About Me

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with experience merging skills and methods from various fields to solve problems and develop creative solutions. Curiosity is in my DNA - I'm always eager to learn and grow my skillset. I enjoy working in collaborative environments but I'm also comfortable owning individual assignments. I'm experienced with both traditional and CNC fabrication methods as well as material selection and sourcing, electronics, and basic coding. I've worked on a variety of projects involving a range of skills including prototyping, test engineering, research, and Interaction Design.

3D Models

Screwdriver Rack

A rack that snuggly fits the unique domed hexagon shape of Wera's micro screwdrivers. Unlike the clunky rack included with Wera Microdriver sets, this vertically orients the screwdriver to make size and driver type markings readable. The rack pictured holds 6 screwdrivers, but capacity is limited only by the size of your 3D print bed. I've included download links for various sizes. Designed to mount with #6 or #8 round head screws.

Fuse Panel

I designed this stainless steel panel to accomidate auxilary electrical wiring for my truck. It includes cutouts for a Bussmann RTMR 15303 fuse and relay box and a Blue Sea Systems 285-Series circuit breaker. The flange is bent at 95º to account for the slightly slanted under-hood mounting surface.

Will fit any 2012-2015 Toyota Tacoma (automatic transmisson only).

Roof Rack

I designed this aluminum roof rack for my truck (2013 Toyota Tacoma). The side panels were waterjet cut from 1/4" aluminum plate. They're connected by 2" x 1" aluminum extrusions which can be adjusted, added, or removed as needed for each application. Any number of accessories can be added to the bars using 1/4" t-slide nuts.

Trampoline Garage

A friend asked me to help him with a fairly unique project - using repurposed materials to build a low-cost oversized garage for working on vehicles and machinery in the winter. The structure is derived from two 13' trampoline frames making up the four hoops, with 10' straight sections of steel tube connecting the middle. The eight trampoline legs are repurposed and attatch to reclaimed railroad timbers anchored into the ground with long rebar stakes.

Having aquired the majority of parts for this build for free, the whole structure was built for a few hundred dollers. At 13' tall and over 30' long, the garage can accomidate anything from a backhoe to a dump truck. The front and rear will be walled off with large barn style doors on the front, with plywood sheathing wrapping up the lower walls.

Bat

This bat was designed for a school project that prompted us to imagine an animal as a drawer pull. The bat was 3D printed then cast in silicone to create a negative mold from which subsequent resin bat pulls could be cast.
