Our Background

A decade of designing, engineering, and shipping high-performance sporting goods and protective equipment — from category-defining lacrosse products to consumer tool design languages. My work spans the full development pipeline, from early concept through production-ready CAD, physical prototyping, lab and field testing, and retail launch.
