In My Own Words

Hi, I’m Becca

I am an industrial designer with 15+ years of experience bringing products to market successfully.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me surfing, exploring nature, or drawing graphic and textile inspiration from art and culture. I’m passionate about thoughtful design and excited to bring that creativity to adventurous, meaningful projects.
