Develops surgical drapes for knee, hip, and trauma surgeries. Explores product workflow and deployment processes to improve operator's ease of use. Navigates the sterilization process throughout the design stages.

Designs padding for surgical tables to prevent pressure injuries, stabilize patients, and interface with the mechanical components of the tables including, accommodating for yaw and other range of motion requirements.

Characterizes and catalogs foams and medical-grade fabrics/materials.

Collaborates directly with Systems Engineering to meet specifications during development. Bridged specification requirements with manufacturer's capabilities to create products that achieved the requirements, hit appropriate deadlines, and minimize cost and time.

Writes risk documents (FMEAs), unit level specifications, test plans & protocols. Presents all product milestones to a company-wide.

Uses Adobe Illustrator and Solidworks to create patterns and drawings.

Executes unit tests on products and complete reports. Testing includes strength testing, seam testing, pressure testing, and QA tests.

Collaborates with Marketing to provide documentation to go with the products. Interviews Clinical Marketing, and surgeons, to get the point of view of the user. Provides documentation to a third party IP Firm.

Develops SOP and guides for the team. Writes a design guide that captured the nuance of the design process during the first release of product to aid in the second release. This document is used as an information database, a 'how to' guide, and as a training resource. This, in combination with, the templates I have created, allow for easy and efficient documentation to occur.

Lastly, I created a new drawing template that blends our mixture of mechanical and soft goods components. This allows us to communicate with a variety of vendor types in the same way and aids in communicating soft goods design details in a recognizable format for the greater engineering team.

Developed product direction for medical devices for humans and pets.

Prototyped products, defined design criteria, sources materials, and continuously improved products for sale.

Aided a variety of clients to turn product concepts into manufactuable goods

Created samples and prototypes to optimize products for production.

Closely worked with operations and the factory floor to train, produce, and inspect products.

Designed soft good housing for electronic components in PEMF braces.

Developed a rigid to soft electronic connection for the antenna on the xEMU spacesuit. Focused on creating an efficient, repeatable design to simplify connection methods.

Sourced materials, developed prototypes, curated industry standards, tested prototypes, created technical diagrams, and drafted construction documents.

Designed a new locking zipper, including 3D model and prototyping of the product. A utility patent is being filed for the zipper.

Created technical flats, illustrations and simulations of products. Filed spec packs, patterned on Optitex, and created Marker files.

Worked with factory floor to start production of new products.

Ideated and illustrated new products for sales presentation and consultations.

Drafted and implemented policy for non-design employees to submit new product ideas.

Seeking out potential clientele, performing consultations, creating designs that meet the given constraints, adjusting designs to meet client’s needs, presenting work with a variety of administrations to confirm designs, and working with technical staff to turn designs into finished products.

Work has included:

o Designing logos, show posters, playbills

o Illustrating book covers and album covers

o Creating NSU’s School to Prison Pipeline event artwork

o Curating and presenting original work in three art installations

o Creating centerpieces for multiple events
