“I was trained as an Industrial Designer, but over the past 20 years I’ve had the good fortune to work with companies and leaders that allowed me to engage in the highest levels of corporate management, business strategy, and product planning. As a result, my approach to innovation is research driven and results oriented; I believe that good design is good for business, and my focus is on using design to achieve exceptional return on investment.”
