I'm an industrial designer who's been working in the field full-time since 2011. I've tackled projects for big corporate clients, small startups, individual inventors, and I've even launched a few products of my own. In 2019 I started Houndsong Games, creating gaming and entertainment content for our own in-house franchises and helping out other indie studios.
I have extensive experience in both the 2D and 3D design tools, and have been an instructor online and in University courses. I just finished teaching a semester of Procreate, Rhino 3D, and Adobe Illustrator for Iowa State University's design program, and am eager to create more courses.
