About

I’m Brian, a physical product designer based in New York. My experiences out East have blended my artful, form-focused side with my technical product development side. I’ve had the pleasure of working in the fields of furniture, consumer electronics, and packaging design. I draw, make my own coffee, and to listen to full albums in stereo. My roots in the Midwest steer me to defy planned obsolescence, and work towards building things that last.
