WORK 01
4MFoundry Moto Kit
Industrial design is my profession and hobby.
With each project I strive to achieve design honesty and grow my experience. Currently embedded in the injection molding industry, I consult on the full product lifecycle, from initial sketch to the opening of steel tooling. My work extends into the automotive sector, where I design precision CNC hardware and custom components. I specialize in bridging the gap between a digital vision and a product that performs.

WORK 01
The ambition was to create an uncompromising espresso machine that celebrates every detail of what we have come to love about espresso. It's a purist no corners cut machine. Focused only on pulling exceptional espresso shots we had no need for a steam boiler. This allows us to simplify the machine, drastically reduce power consumption and achieve one of the smallest footprints in its class at 15”X14.5”x15” (380x368mm).

M360 Speakers
Independent Engineering Project: 3D-Printed Active Speaker System
Designed and prototyped a compact Hi-Fi stereo system using consumer-grade 3D printing, focusing on cost-efficiency and acoustic performance.
Engineered a custom enclosure with an integrated power supply and amplifier to minimize cabling and maximize portability.
Achieved a high-dynamic-range sound profile, successfully delivering tangible bass response at low volumes in a small form factor.
Managed end-to-end product lifecycle from CAD modeling to final assembly for small-batch distribution to private users.

4MFoundry Moto Kit
This project began with the Sur-Ron x. A product that pioneered the small electric motorcycle category, providing great performance at an affordable price. However something was missing. The seat was uncomfortable and there was no bodywork. Working under Mike Mayberry, we decided to move forward with a bodykit design to manufacture and sell. I worked as the lead designer carrying this project from concept to production. Designing in CAD and moving through concepts by 3D printing until we arrived on a design we liked. Then I built a website and brand to sell under (4MFoundry). My responsibility continued to procurement, manufacturing and social media promotion.

Teague: Boeing 777x Mockup
As a Technical Designer at Teague, I was responsible for designing unique solutions for full scale aviation interior mockups high and low fidelity. This project involved designing and procuring several assemblies for Boeing's 777x traveling tradeshow mockup. Managing massive CAD assemblies and collaborating with my team and efficiently communicating with our client at Boeing.

E-Shifter Folding Bike
The E-Shifter project began as a senior thesis project exploring alternate means of transportation. This is the second iteration of a folding electric bike blurring the lines between motorcycles and bicycles.
WORK 07
3D printed license plate and blinker mount for the Svartpilen 401. Designed to match the minimal design of the 401 and outperform the stock blinkers.
