Shawn brings two decades of creative force to the most advanced seating and product design projects in the industry. His superpower lies in graphically and physically communicating evolving design concepts through complex mechanical and visual prototypes built in various materials. Shawn excels at creating photorealistic renderings using Otoy OctaneRender® and develops layouts, diagrams, and logos with Adobe Creative Cloud. His expertise in finding mechanical molded part solutions that can be prototyped and confirmed before tooling has been instrumental in reducing risk on large-scale projects. Shawn's involvement in pre-molding design reviews has saved clients significant time and investment. He holds several patents and has conducted research on projects ranging from consumer lawn mower products to biotech and medical facilities. Outside work, Shawn practices photography and enjoys the vibrant Twin Cities live music scene, bringing that same creative energy to every prototype challenge.
