I recently graduated from the Industrial Design program at Rhode Island School of Design. Life is good.

I would call myself a storyteller by design. I use those particular words because it is stories that excite me to the point of wanting to create.

I aspire to design and direct in the film industry. I'm interested in sets, costumes, props, all of it. Story is where it's at, and I need to be a part of it. All of that said, product design is starting to grow on me. It's not as bad as I used to think it was. It's actually kind of fun.

Over the past few years I've also become very interested in the design of apparel and other soft goods. The way we interact with clothing--products with a direct human interface--is fascinating to me. I'm really enjoying more extensive study in this area, and I hope to purpose much of this research into working on designs for the spacesuit.

I AM A MAKER.

I like to spend my spare time riding my motorcycle, cracking my bullwhip, and thinking about space exploration.

Check back often to keep up with my wacky adventures.

I'd love to hear from you.
