I'm a passionate and motivated designer looking to put my skills to work. I am a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Stout, School of Art and Design with a BFA in Industrial Design. I'm hard working and detail oriented, some of my strengths include working well in a team environment and thinking outside the box to find a creative solution to the problem at hand. When I take on a new design project I like to take a step back and look at what the needs of the consumer are and how the design can help them.
