Hi, I’m Joel!

Industrial + Packaging Designer

He/Him

As a kid I was obsessed with the idea that a thought in my head could become real and go on to change the world. It felt like magic to me. And it still does.

Curiosity defines me as a designer. I love to learn and I love learning every time I design something new.

My curiosity makes me adaptable. I can learn new skills quickly and integrate them into my diverse skill set.
