Neo Source

Metal Fabricator

Upon completing my schooling and a prior job at Dean Bicycles, I developed a keen interest in manufacturing processes, with a specific focus on metal fabrication. I also became intrigued by the intricacies of small business management. I firmly believed that a superior product was the result of a perfect blend of exceptional design and master craftsmanship. Motivated by this belief and aspiring to start my own design operation, I joined NeoSource in late 1998 and remained there until the end of the summer in 1999. NeoSource specialized in designing and manufacturing lamps for both commercial and private applications.

My time at NeoSource was a hands-on learning experience, where I truly grasped what it meant to be a manufacturer and a craftsman. I also came to appreciate the paramount importance of handling raw materials with care and precision to ensure the production of high-quality products. I vividly recall our meticulous approach to selecting metal sheets at the sheet metal yard, where we would painstakingly choose those with the fewest damages or scratches. This exemplified the rigorous quality control standards instilled in me during my tenure at NeoSource.

Dean Bikes

intern

All my life, I've held a deep fascination with high-quality products, particularly those esteemed for their exceptional craftsmanship and quality. Luxury items, as they're often known, have always captivated me due to their inherent value.

My foray into the world of luxury product design began early in my career when I undertook an internship at Dean Bicycles. This company specialized in crafting custom titanium bicycles. During my time there, I had the privilege of contributing to the design of a full-suspension mountain bike. This experience underscored the paramount importance of a discerning eye for detail and a meticulous approach to the production of luxury items.

I discovered that every facet of luxury item creation demands the utmost care and precision. Treating each step with meticulous attention is not only essential for quality but also critical to ensuring that subsequent stages are free from unexpected issues."

Education

Metropolitan State University

Bachelors of arts

"My university education was a fusion of my curiosity not only in economics, physics, mathematics, and art but also in the creation of imaginative objects. I crafted a distinct curriculum that reflected my keen interest in the interconnectedness of various disciplines. This diverse educational background has proven invaluable to my unique approach to creative projects”

"In 1998, I earned my degree in Industrial Design from the Metropolitan State College of Denver. This program, while relatively young, was originally established under the art department but had a pronounced emphasis on production methods and technology.

I intentionally selected this program over more renowned options because I was enthusiastic about gaining practical experience in production. Upon transferring to Metropolitan State University, I was resolute in my ambition to forge a career centered on crafting distinctive objects with a strong artistic foundation. With a solid background in art already, I aimed to augment my expertise by incorporating the vital elements of design and manufacturing knowledge."

University Of North Carolina Greensboro

Engineer and Art Studies

"I spent two years exploring various academic themes at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. In 1994, I initially enrolled in the pre-engineering program with the aspiration of becoming an engineer and contributing to the creation of intricate systems and machines. I developed a deep fascination with mathematics and physics, which seemed to govern the world.

However, during this time, I discovered a profound connection with the School museum and the art department. They became a refuge from the complexities of mathematical systems. It was during this period that I embarked on an exploration of the intricacies of human perception, a concept not as readily defined in the world of numbers but abundantly present in artistic creations.

This led me to question the fascinating relationship between art and mathematics. At UNCG, I delved into the world of art and made the decision to combine my knowledge of art and mathematics to create objects of extraordinary beauty. To further my capabilities, I recognized the need to gain expertise in production and manufacturing. This realization ultimately guided my choice to pursue a degree in Industrial Design."
