About me:

I am a design student at Utah State University studying Outdoor Product Design and Development. I create innovative, purpose-driven products for working dogs and their handlers. I also focus on non-working dogs and their handlers, as well as firearms, skis, backpacks, and more.

My degree in Psychology fuels design choices by providing a hard-science background that forms the basis for understanding problems end-users face, exploring solutions, research, data analysis, and more that informs design decisions to make the best designs possible.

About the dog:

Ridge is my go-to prototype tester for all K9-related products. He is a certified Area Search and Avalanche Search dog who loves to hike, swim, find sticks, and above all - play with a ball.

He does a large array of professional tasks, as well as recreational ones, making him a balanced tester who can represent professional and recreational dogs alike.
