​

Climbing has shaped the way I approach design. I begin every route with an open mind; the sequence isn’t always obvious, and my first idea doesn’t always work. Progress comes from stepping back, adapting, and giving it another try. 

I approach design the same way I read a route. My process is rooted in curiosity, passion, research, and attention to detail, allowing me to understand problems deeply, resulting in thoughtful solutions.
 
I’m driven to design gear that leaves nothing overlooked, gear that feels intentional, dependable, and built to last. When designed thoughtfully, gear evokes excitement, trust, and pride in the people who use it.
