Intern at Priority Designs

I went through the process of designing my own mp3 player. From research to design to CAD drawings to
model making to a final prototype. What a great experience.

I was an intern in the Industrial Design department. Participated in brainstorming, sketch sessions, and

Also discovered Alias Studio Tools (3d product visualization tool) and started making 3d robots and am sure
that's what got me hooked on 3D and what i do today.
