Hi I'm Brooke!

I’m an Industrial Designer based in Minneapolis, currently working at GEMS, a consumer product development consultancy. I work across product development, 3D CAD, rendering, and visualization for major retail and consumer brands. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, functional products that improve everyday experiences, while considering the materials, processes, and details that bring a concept to life.

I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, explore new materials and technologies, and push myself as a designer. Outside of design, you can usually find me running, hiking, gardening, or crafting. Whether I’m working on a professional project or exploring an idea of my own, I’m always up for a challenge and excited to keep growing as a designer.
