-HELLO
Originally from New Jersey, I am an Industrial Designer based in Southern California. For the past five years with Jacuzzi, I have designed several lines of hot tubs and spas for the luxury consumer market, working alongside the Director of Design, Engineering and Sales to ensure design and performance are always key.
My experience also includes remote freelance design for Tomberlin Golf Carts on the redesign of their flagship electric golf cart. I also have two years of co-op internship experience with various manufacturing companies while earning my Masters of Industrial Design from Arizona State University and my Bachelor of Science, Industrial/Transportation Design from the University of Cincinnati. During my co-op internships, I honed my technical skills and gained knowledge on manufacturing, material selection and overseas pricing while collaborating with Project Managers, Engineer Designers, Sales and Marketing.
I spent three of my co-op internships with Cuisinart, designing several products for the small kitchen and gadget department, collaborating with engineering and marketing on products that were manufactured and sold at retail. At Cuisinart, I earned my first design patent (D679,964S) for the Dual-Purpose Peeler; simple yet the dual functionality was key to the design.
I have also interned with MTD Products based in AZ and assisted design for several electric and gas-powered equipment projects and interned for Sea Ray Boats based in FL, working on the redesign of Bayliner model interiors.
In addition to designing products, my other interests range from being a car enthusiast, a master of the BBQ, an obsessed fan of the New York Jets and a proud corgi owner.
