Experience
Design Intern
PILOT44 / San Francisco, CA / January 2021 - April 2021
As an intern at PIlOT44 I worked closely with an inhouse team and Maestro Design. While supporting in-house research for Pilot44 I was fortunate enough to spend half my time working with former Apple Industrial designers and engineers at Maestro - participating in daily design meetings and absorbing theory, practice, history, and techniques. I gained professional experience by presenting design concepts of consumer electronic accessories and packaging as well as market research to both design teams and ecommerce partners. This experience gave me a clear understanding of the relationship between the Industrial design and business world.
Design and Fabrication Apprentice
KLN / Brooklyn, NY / Sept. 2022 - Dec. 2022
As a design and fabrication intern at KLN Studio I was tasked to fabricate clients designs and assist the design of in house furniture pieces. This internship was very impactful for a variety of reason; I learned the realities of small business operations, experienced the fierce, competitive, and inspiring nature of the design industry in the Big Apple, and found the joy of creative collaboration on a small team.
Collegiate Basketball
Wentworth Mens Basketball / Boston, MA / September 2018 - Janurary 2021
College basketball is a lesson in time management and teamwork. Harmonizing design work and basketball is not easy, but it is feasible with dedication and creativity. Through experience I have come to recognize that failures are stepping stones for improvement in both of these practices.
Special Needs Brother
Bice Family / Woodacre, CA / September 2, 1999 - Current
Growing up I played the role of the younger and older sibling. This taught me to accept differences as well as the virtue of patience and communication. It has largely made me the person I am today. My brother Sol continues to build my character and help me see the best in myself and others.
