INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER &

about
Greetings! I’m Deanna. I graduated from the University of Washington’s Industrial Design program. In the past six years in the industry, I have gained an intimate knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, SolidWorks, Materialise Magics, and Fusion 360.
In order to motivate change, one must have confidence and desire in their cause. I have the knowledge and hands-on experience in the workshop, as well as the ability to problem solve using inventive solutions. Alongside an unyielding work-ethic and ambition to surpass all expectations, I will deliver an unforgettable experience to any company I work for and hope to be a major contributor to the success of any project I am assigned too.
Outside of design, I gained a passion for CAD modeling. I am constantly working in Fusion 360 to create models for client’s online, which are then created into cosmetic props. I also discovered an interest in costume and prop fabrication. I love the creative process behind the art of fabrication, and greatly enjoy my time spent in the workshop.
