CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and expand my views of design and sustainability.

ABOUT ME

I am an industrial designer, an entrepreneur and a “green” guru. I won Grand Prize for the 50th Anniversary Velcro USA Design Challenge for my GloChess concept, which incorporates conductive V30 Velcro into a travel chess board game. The GloChess design has been published in over 35 online publications and in several countries including China, Korea, Spain and Mexico. I worked for the innovative baby gear manufacturer, Boon Inc. (www.booninc.com), where I designed, prototyped and helped launch the 2009 line of new products.

Currently, I am taking on freelance design work through my company Squint Studio and maintaining my web site http://InspireID.com to "share the design perspectives and experiences" of international designers.

Interests
