My passion for thoughtful engineering and design stems from a long term love of math and science. As a child, nothing fascinated me more than building things or taking them apart, in pursuit of an overall understanding of the way things work and how the interaction of small parts contributes so beautifully to the big picture.
In addition, growing up in small town Montana meant that the outdoors were always around the corner. As such, I frequently draw inspiration for my work from nature - and believe that while much technological development seems to distance us from the organic, it can in reality be the source of some of our greatest insights.
I graduated from the University of Portland with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and recently finished my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in June 2015, with a focus in design and manufacturing. I am interested in a wide array of work, and have experience in markets such as sustainable tech, consumer products, and medical devices. I also possess a strong belief in expanding individual and business manufacturing capabilities, currently fascinated by the additive manufacturing revolution as well as open-source mechatronics & maker projects.
