I have had the unique privilege, advantage and experience of two professional careers. One in the Performing Arts and the other in the Applied Arts, Sciences, and Technology. Following a highly competitive audition process I was accepted into and attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I later continued my studies in the United States, Europe and Middle East, eventually returning home to a new creative career as a Georgia Institute of Technology educated Industrial Designer.
I have been awarded many utility and design patents that were funded and successfully commercialized. My work has been featured in both national and international publications and the Robb Report recently evaluated my seating
as "best in class." I began my multidisciplinary design career in the role of team member in creative leadership positions with nationally recognized firms and currently active as an independent Industrial Design corporate consultant.
