An Investment in What’s Next

A living venture into human-centered futures—led by one designer, engineer, scientist, and founder.
Research-backed. Prototype-proven. Ready to scale.

What if you could back the person, not just the product?
I work across disciplines to investigate perception, invent new tools, and develop products that change the world. This is part lab, part venture engine, part public research journal.

Whether you're here to co-develop a prototype, sponsor a study, license IP, or support the push, welcome.

Why Back Applied Design?

Science-backed creativity
MS in Human Factors Engineering from Tufts University. Research in tactile perception and dynamic materials.

10+ years of innovation delivery
From military-grade wearables to IoT prototypes to consumer tech.

Trained in Classical Industrial Design
Educated at Pratt Institute, where I developed fluency in form as a visual language.

Venture instincts + government wins
Principal Investigator on $1M+ SBIR programs. Experience moving research to real-world deployment.

Systems thinking meets real-world problem solving
Not just ideas. Mechanisms, roadmaps, and execution you can build from.
