Simple,

Accessible,

& Empathetic

I design & ship products that are simple, accessible, and empathetic.

As a leader, I work with a team's strengths to build momentum, excelling at reducing noise and providing feedback, so a team can add their value cleanly, efficiently, and enjoyably.

As a designer, I work to create and communicate constraints before concepts. Clarity and alignment among stakeholders is the recipe for a successful design.

01 - Product Lead

A sketch of a circle with the Latch logo at the bottom. It is a representation of the Latch lens module linked on the image.

The Latch Lens

Building on the success of Latch’s iconic UI/UX interface, we modularized the design to create a platform. After proving the design on two first-party products, this user experience can now be brought to any lock format.

02 - Product Lead

A sketch of the Latch C2. An upside down tear drop shape with the Latch lens (circle) at the top, and a pill shaped thumb turn underneath.

The Latch C2

Taking everything we learned from our first deadbolt product, the team set out to create the worlds most intuitive smart lock. The UI was optimized for security, power efficiency, and reliability, while allowing for platforming through configurable I/O. The novel turn mechanism allows for locking at any time, creating a natural, reliable, and trusted experience for users.

03 - Mechanical Lead

A sketch of the Latch R. A half a racetrack with the Latch lens at the top and a band across the bottom.

The Latch R

The base building solution. Market need demanded a 10 month development cycle, and the team’s success in delivering proved the value of platforming.

04 - Transducer Designer

A sketch of the Bose Soundlink Revolve+. A tapered cylinder with a fabric handle at the top and a grill band along the bottom.

Soundlink Revolve+

The design brief for the first truly omnidirectional Bluetooth speaker required a new full range driver with high peak-to-peak displacement and low distortion. Continuous collaboration between the platform teams resulted in an excellent balance between system tuning, hardware robustness, audio quality, and customer value.

05 - Transducer Designer

A cross section sketch of a speaker assembly showing a double stack ring/slug motor with a soft parts assembly floating on a bobbin. The field lines are represented in red.

Super65

The Bose Small Vehicle Series was developed to offer premium quality sound in a automotive segment with extreme price sensitivity. The solution? Take advantage of the smaller cabin and ditch the subwoofer. The resulting 6.5” driver required a novel suspension integrated with a dual magnet ring & slug motor to give the required force and magnetic linearity.

06 - Researcher

A cross section sketch of a cymbal transducer. The piezo material is shown as a rectangle with two arrows suggesting it is contracting inwards. The cymbals are top and bottom with arrows pointing vertically suggesting movement that way.

d32 mode cymbal transducers

During pursuit of an M.S. in acoustics, I worked at Penn State Applied Research Lab performing sensitivity analysis on transducer designs that make use of the responsive properties of novel crystal cuts in new single crystal ferroelectric relaxors. If you want to know more, you can be the third person to read my thesis.
