I’m an independent industrial designer based in San Francisco, with over a decade of experience designing award-winning technology products in both consumer and enterprise hardware.

I was previously a Partner at Bould Design, the studio behind iconic designs such as the Nest Thermostat, Roku streaming devices, and GoPro cameras. I led work for clients both large and small, and shipped dozens of products with the team there.

I love simple, elegant, functional design. I believe that the thoughtful application of technology paired with well considered user experiences can meaningfully improve people’s lives. I write regularly about design on LinkedIn and my blog, Design Things. 

If you're interested in collaborating on a product, feel free to get in touch.
