Sauntering through Design, Art, and Fabrication; running full speed ahead into the unkown. Born in Chicago, raised on a farm, now back in the Concrete Jungle  Des Moines📍

I started my career with great plans of inventing warp speed at 6 years old, hearing encouraging old phrases from my Dad & Mom to dream big. After dreams of becoming the next Da-Vinci, Darwin, or Eames, I eventually started studying mechanical engineering. Quickly realizing after failing advanced calculus, I pivoted into the wonderful world of industrial design.  Jump a few years into the future and I am now a designer, founder, and maker. 

Most recently I was working as a  co-founder and lead industrial designer for Aion Prosthetics, a faster to market product approach to develop body-powered prosthetics at a middle-market cost. 

I also operate as  Co-CEO of Morph design studio,  a Chicago-based design studio focused on the agnosticism between design and engineering to create beautifully different products. This studio is made up of a multi-disciplinary team that has worked on products from NSF funded robotics to delicate conceptual sculpture pieces. 

As of 2022 I have been working in Des Moines with medical hardware startups and building furniture. Please don't be a stranger, I am always looking to chat about design and look for new projects.  Reach out to me at cerdman38@gmail.com. 

I have been fortunate to have work published on a national and international platforms. Including INDUSTART, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Vogue Greece,The cut, ELLE, Highsnobiety and Harper Bazaar. I have been hosted by Core77, Red Dot, C-IDEA, and A' Design.
