Hi. I’m Charlie.

I'm an aesthetically-minded freelance Product Development Specialist with over 18 years of experience in product development, mechanical design, and manufacturing.

I’m passionate about bringing to market beautiful, honest, and simple-to-use (not to be confused with simple-to-design) products that create an enriched experience for its users.

Since graduating in 2005 from Queen’s University with a bachelor’s as well as a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, I’ve worked my way up to becoming the Director of Engineering and Lead Mechanical Engineer for some of Toronto’s top design firms, executing and managing countless projects through all stages of development, from ideation and prototyping, to design for manufacturing and mass-production.

These days, I work out of my home studio in the eclectic neighborhood of Leslieville in Toronto, Canada, with my partner, Devan, and our cats, Cosmo and Sparrow.
