Hey! I'm Sarah, a designer who spends most of her time in the outdoors when not designing. As a kid, I loved taking things apart just so I could put them back together. I was obsessed with figuring out how things worked and why they worked they did. The 'How It's Made' show was my favorite. Fast forward a few years, I discover Industrial Design at Western Washington University and it felt like puzzle pieces coming together. I love using design to solve problems and create innovative solutions in the real world and I had no idea I could make a career out of it until I went to college. Professionally, I've spent the past few years designing and engineering products in the medical device space, athletic space, and have gained experience with packaging, production and graphic design as well.
When I'm not rendering something in Keyshot or making things tangent in Solidworks, I spend a lot of time riding bikes, running and skiing.
