Since February 2025 I have worked as a design assistant and associate designer at a local, made-in-USA soft goods manufacturer, Vanmade Gear. Here I have been involved with the entire product creation process, from dreaming up new business concepts, to product ideation, to prototyping, to ensuring hand off to production and troubleshooting when something needs adjusting. Below are some photos of this process.
Key skills: CAD (Fusion 360, Rhino), Pattern Engineering, Component Design, 3D Printing, Soft Goods Design, Sewing, CNC fabric cutting, tech packs, optimizing products for manufacturing.
