Let's be honest, because I prefer to do away with pretense in favor of communicating freely. I am an unincorporated person with a passion for creation, for the technical demands of mechanical engineering and the subtleties of good design. I believe that skill and talent are not reserved solely for firms with a strong Web 2.0 presence but are traits earned one person at a time and best expressed in the real world.

You see, I'm not here to pretend I'm a design consultancy, though I would love to consult for you. Nor am I going to imply this website is the home of a brilliant engineering collective, unless you want to partner up with me and start one. Rather, this is my place to initiate a conversation with you. Here I can give you glimpse into the meticulous process of engineering design, my passion for creation, and the things I love.

This portfolio is a collection of student work, professional work, and stuff born of garages. It is a few designs out of the legions in my sketchbooks that have made it off the page and into reality. Everything showcased here is the culmination of days and weeks of hard and passionate efforts, a collection of things made in my image. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
