“Throughout my life, the processes of identification and problem solving, building, repairing and creating have been the driving force of my work."
"I get excited and excel when given the opportunity to discover how things work (or not) and how I may find a way to either design something better than its previous incarnation or to conceive of something that had never been thought of before. Mechanisms, electronics, messaging, graphic design, U/X, U/I, product design and system integration are all a part of a great adventure and discovery.”
