I expanded the industrial design and mechanical engineering teams, growing our internal capability to develop a larger portfolio of new products each year. I led award-winning industrial design programs, including an IDEA 2003 Bronze recipient, delivering innovative solutions and brand-aligned products. I directed the creative vision and execution of hundreds of consumer products across multiple categories, ensuring strong design integrity while aligning with business and market objectives. I managed and mentored the industrial design team, fostering a culture of creativity, collaboration, and professional growth through coaching and performance development.

I created innovative, high-quality industrial design solutions for well-known consumer brands such as Rubbermaid, Shur-Line, and Ace Hardware, with a strong focus on aesthetics, usability, and brand identity. I worked closely with the Shur-Line engineering team to translate early concept sketches into refined, production-ready products, balancing creative vision with functional and manufacturing requirements.

I created industrial design solutions for more than 40 major projects for a diverse range of clients, including SC Johnson, Case, Bomag North America, Terex (and Marklift), GE Medical, and Sta-Rite. I managed project schedules, budgets, and coordination efforts for engagements ranging from $10,000 to $300,000, ensuring on-time delivery and financial accountability. I worked closely with client project managers, engineers, and marketing teams to present design concepts, clarify expectations, and develop strong, collaborative working relationships that supported successful project outcomes.
