Prepara is where I developed my technical skills in concept generation, 3D modeling, rendering, photography, packaging, video production & trade-show booth design. I had a chance to channel my creative energies while I learned from those who were willing to teach, and as time progressed I passed my knowledge to fresh faces.

I managed projects from concepts through to shelf end-caps, and designed exclusives for Target, Costco, Walmart, Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma, Keurig, and others.

Sur La Table approached us with a bit of a challenge. The were in need of a pod carousel for the newly launched Nespresso Vertuo machine. They said they contacted a few kitchenware design companies and whoever provided a design and sample first would get the business. I started designing the carousel using a few common parts for items we already made to save time. By the afternoon I had made a validating 3D print and we sent files to the factory for sampling that night. In less than a week they received the sample and we won the business.
