2014 International Design Award:
We won the 2014 IDA award for our Oceans7 inflatable Paipo body boards.
These boards are light weight easy to inflate, durable, and faster than your
traditional bodyboard due to our less drag laminated fabric. This award
showcased product design, product graphics and product packaging.
My role was to design all product graphics and product packaging.
About
I am a senior designer based in Boston, MA.
For the past 13 years I had the pleasure
of producing digital art, print and online
graphics for a wide range of companies
and publications nationwide.
My love for art and design grows more
by the day. I'm constantly reading,
researching different mediums to
learn new techniques and bring
those techniques into my work.
