Locking eyes with clients for 20+ years.
 
I’ve spent my career bringing fabrication solutions to leading brands across the country. As Design Director at B+N Industries, I lead creative teams on projects ranging from large-scale, single-location builds to major nationwide programs. In earlier roles, I served as lead design engineer for in-store environments and fixture systems, while also managing national programs from start to finish. In 2008, I established B+N’s East Coast presence by opening our New York office. I also guided design teams through the transition to SolidWorks CAD software, creating and enforcing workflows that boosted production, reduced inefficiencies, and improved manufacturing profit margins.

I proudly focus on delivering practical, production-ready solutions achieved by blending creativity with fabrication expertise.
