About
I'm a product designer and founder with seven years of experience bringing hardware products from insight to market.
Founding Blushworks (fermentation tools) and Studio Plural (custom watches), as well as leading product at Noisy Clan (music accessories) taught me to hold the whole product: user research, industrial design, materials engineering, manufacturing coordination, supply chain, brand, and go-to-market. Not as separate disciplines handed off between teams, but as a single connected process where every decision affects every other one - from first sketch to factory floor to shelf.
-
Founded Blushworks (fermentation tools) and Studio Plural (custom watches), and served as first product hire at Noisy Clan. Built products end-to-end across concept, manufacturing, and commercial launch.
-
User research, opportunity framing, concept generation, sketch-to-CAD iteration, competitive landscape analysis. Experienced moving from ambiguous problem spaces to defined product briefs across fermentation tools, watchmaking systems, and music accessories.
-
Materials selection (plastics, metals, wood, adhesives), DFM, injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, tolerance stack-up, jig and fixture design, prototype iteration. Fluent working directly with domestic and overseas manufacturing partners from tooling through first article inspection.
