About Me

I'm an energetic hands-on product design leader with mechanical engineering expertise. I thrive working in fast diverse collaborative teams bringing new product ideas to market at scale.

With extensive design engineering roles in-house and design consulting, my projects have spanned a wide range of consumer products from smartphones and apps to kitchen utensils, medical devices, launching the first VR systems and revolutionizing strength fitness.

In 2003 I founded a new product design and development studio in Shanghai for IDEO, renowned for world-class design and engineering services. I had a unique opportunity to build a new local integrated design team and embrace the unique and growing opportunities for design and consulting in modern China with local brands.

At HTC my focus on Android smartphones, mobile imaging, and virtual reality inspired me with rapid hardware/software development driven by design, technology and breakthrough immersive experiences.

At TONAL was my own amazing start-up opportunity to invent a new category of connected-fitness strength training technology and bring a new product/service/brand to the world as fast as possible.

Now at PCH International, I lead System Engineering bringing new hardware concepts to market at scale for global brands and start-ups.

I love to work with ambitious teams that create, test and iterate to achieve new great things.
