Highlights
GT Ultrabox II
While working at GT Bikes, I was able to fulfill a childhood dream and design BMX bikes. Specifically, I designed the second coming of a tried and true BMX race bike, the Ultrabox. The Ultrabox II was the first fully carbon fiber BMX frame. The bike made it to the 2008 Olympics being ridden by the Australian Luke Madill.
V-Moda Crossfade
I joined V-Moda just after initial startup when there was only an OEM product being sold. I was responsible for giving form, identity and experience to the entire product line. The Crossfade headphone has been on the market since 2009 and the design has remained mainly unchanged while adding bluetooth and noise canceling technology. Crossfade has become a cult favorite among EDM Dj’s including Morgan Page, Paul Oakenfold, Nirvo, Avicii and many more.
CM4 - Silk - Smartish
With two other founders and myself, CM4 started as a premium gaming accessory brand. Through market survival the company found success making phone cases. The brand has changed names a few times: CM4 to Silk to now Smartish, but the products have maintained great reviews directly from consumers and is preferred and recommended by many technology editors.

Portal Hi - Fi
This was a long developing personal obsession that became my senior project at Art Center College of Design. I am fascinated with how television has become a companion and beyond content provides a sense of engagement. Experimenting with projection of video, I created a moving and changing experience that is ambient and is not focused on content.
Special thanks to Simon Grendene for video and Dunja Dumanski for the beautiful photos.
