Description
I moved my family to the Seattle area a little over a year ago, after selling my store fixture design and manufacturing firm that I owned and operated in Minnesota. I have a very strong understanding of product design, combined with an engineering and manufacturing background that allows me to stay grounded. In the past, I have managed people on all levels, from highly creative internal and external designers to vendors and employees performing repetitive tasks. I have worked directly with high profile clients from all around the country on varied projects, ranging from initial concept design, all the way through manufacturing, and final installation.
