A Senior Industrial Designer based in New Jersey with 5+ years of experience leading consumer products from first sketch to retail shelf.

At OnTel Products, I've built a track record of delivering hard goods that sell across multiple categories, major retail channels, and As Seen on TV. I don't just design products. I own them end-to-end: concept, CAD, prototyping, manufacturer communication, and production. Some of my most defining work has come from identifying why a product wasn't performing and redesigning it into one that did — seeing that turnaround validated at retail is what drives me.

I've also shaped how our products look as a family — establishing a design language that brought visual consistency across the brand and strengthened shelf presence.

Before OnTel, I designed for EastPoint Sports across sporting goods, table games, and toys — and collaborated with SurgiBox, an award-winning medical device firm, on FDA and CE Mark submissions. That experience taught me that precision and design thinking aren't opposites.

I use AI tools like MidJourney and Vizcom to explore concepts faster, and I run our in-house FDM prototyping to keep iteration cycles short and decisions sharp.

This portfolio is a window into how I think, work, and design. I hope it speaks for itself.
