Your Name

Hello! I'm Jax.

Driven to bring intentional, elegant, and durable products to fruition that enhance everyday life, I'm a mechanically inclined product designer.My technically-grounded approach draws from graduate work across Creative Technology and Design and Mechanical Engineering, focusing on product development, design for manufacturing, and refining my own design methodology. Prior to graduate school, I led materials research and reactor design at Fortera Corporation, a carbon capture start-up, optimizing production processes to scale operations. I thrive in multidisciplinary, collaborative environments where diverse perspectives and teamwork drive innovation. My goal is to design products that shift how individuals interact with the world around them.
