About Me

I am an energetic hands-on product design leader with mechanical engineering expertise. I thrive working in fast diverse collaborative teams bringing new product ideas to market at scale.

With extensive design engineering roles in-house and design consulting, my projects have spanned a wide range of consumer products from smartphones and apps to kitchen utensils, medical devices, launching the first VR systems and revolutionizing strength fitness.

In 2003 I founded a new product design and development studio in Shanghai for IDEO, world renowned for world-class design and engineering services. I had a unique opportunity to build a new local integrated design team and act on the changing and growing opportunities for design and consulting in modern China with local brands.

At HTC my focus on Android smartphones, mobile imaging, and virtual reality inspired me with accelerated hardware/software development driven by design, technology and breakthrough immersive experiences.

At TONAL was my own amazing in-house start-up opportunity to invent a new category of connected-fitness strength training technology and bring product/service/brand to the world as fast as possible.

At PCH International, I lead System Engineering bringing new hardware concepts to market at scale for global brands and start-ups.

I am available for direct engagement consulting services. I love to work with new ambitious teams to design, create, test and iterate to achieve new awesome products.
