I’m a Senior Industrial Designer with 7+ years of consultancy experience and a deep love for making stuff. Design doesn’t turn off at the end of the workday. When I’m not designing products professionally, I’m usually filling a sketchbook, wrenching on my car, tinkering, skateboarding, snowboarding, or cooking as a creative outlet.
I bring a mix of creative intuition and technical rigor, with a strong foundation in DFM, aesthetic development, ergonomic design, and advanced SolidWorks modeling. I enjoy solving real problems, navigating manufacturing constraints, and shaping products that feel considered, functional, and well-built.
I am a dual U.S. & Croatian citizen
