• Developed industrial design concepts and prototypes into production-ready Class-A CAD surfaces for high-volume consumer hardware, balancing aesthetic intent and manufacturing constraints.
• Led early-stage design development for wearables and Xbox peripherals, applying advanced 3D surfacing, ergonomic studies and product design principles to translate design goals into manufacturable concepts.
• Collaborated with engineering, prototyping and manufacturing teams to develop plastic and metal part designs, evaluate materials, and resolve DFM/DFA challenges while maintaining industrial design intent.
• Led the transition of 4+ hardware projects from prototype to mass production over 24 months, partnering with overseas manufacturers and using Creo, Autodesk Alias and FEA to achieve a 20% reduction in ramp-up defects and a 15% acceleration in launch schedules.
• Applied computational design and parametric modeling workflows using Dynamo to rapidly explore design variations, optimize complex geometries and generate manufacturable concepts.

• Redesigned product components and simplified assembly architecture by consolidating parts into a two-part structure, achieving a 40% reduction in production costs.
• Contributed to next-generation wearable product development through ergonomic studies, material selection and DFM/DFA analysis to reduce wearer fatigue and improve ease of donning and doffing.
• Collaborated with mechanical engineering and prototyping teams to validate design changes through tolerance analysis, iterative prototyping and supplier feedback.

• Developed high-precision 3D CAD models and Class-A surfaces for instrument panels, electronic components and mechanical assemblies, integrating aesthetic requirements with engineering and manufacturing constraints.
• Applied Autodesk Alias, DFM/DFA, statistical tolerance analysis and FEA to optimize geometry, manufacturability, assembly integration and product quality for high-volume production.
• Collaborated with contract manufacturers to integrate displays, sensors, acoustics, batteries and antennas into mechanical enclosures while maintaining ergonomic requirements and high-cosmetic surface quality.
• Delivered end-to-end design solutions for automotive and mobility programs, from ideation and prototyping through Class-A production models, incorporating ergonomics and thermal-management considerations.
