Growing up I learned that technology development can be disruptive and misunderstood, I was busted drawing robots during class. Luckily my passion for design persisted and I continued to grow my skills, specifically in the areas of CAD and 3D printing. I am a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert with a wide-ranging experience as a product designer, CAD manager, and training specialist. I currently work in Brooklyn as the Design and Drafting Manager at MakerBot. I am also a founding partner of the SOLIDWORKS User Group of New York City, a not-for-profit organization that promotes knowledge exchange and professional networking. Outside of the office my interests include backpacking, beer brewing, and drawing robots.
