I've always seen design and manufacturing not as separate realms but as interconnected parts of a single process. My journey began at Arcteryx and within the innovation hub of Lululemon, where I honed my skills before branching out to redefine the processes for clients in the outdoor industry. My agency, Grey Area Studio, isn't just about creating designs; it's about revolutionising how we think about product creation. We integrate rapid iterative prototyping with cutting-edge digital design to deliver not just concepts but complete, market-ready solutions. From the initial spark of an idea to the final stages of patterning, prototyping, tech packs, material sourcing, and manufacturing management, we're not just involved — we're embedded in every step. This is what sets us apart: a design agency that operates like a high-performance engine in the fast-paced world of innovation. How can I help you build a toolkit to engineer better product?

Construction Takt Planning & Lean Expert 🏗️Planning 🗓️Scheduling 👷🏼‍♂️Execution 🚜Construction Operations Consultant ⚙️Production Systems Expert 🎯Construction Coach I frequently am able to help construction project teams find between 20-75% schedule gains on phase or project durations using a System invented in Germany called Takt Planning & Takt Control (TPTC). I can show you today how to finish your construction project sooner and give subcontractors more time. Flow is the goal of every Construction project, and there are three major correlations between those who can achieve flow and those who can’t. So like the commercials say…. Got Flow? I have even helped teams use takt to recover projects that were behind schedule. (Months in one case.) I am a builder by birth right as I am a fourth generation builder and have been in the construction industry for over 20 years. I started the first decade of my career in the trades, working for an industrial civil contractor doing mostly civil and concrete work across the US, I was a laborer, concrete mason, operator, foreman and ultimately made it to assistant Superintendent when I got burnt out from the industry. I wanted to find something else that would support me being more present for my family and didn’t grind me down like field leadership was. I went back to school and got my Construction Management Bachelors degree from Weber State University. I took night courses for 4 years (20 credit hours) and worked full time and graduated with $0 college debt. I hold certifications from Manitowoc, OSHA, PMI-SP, AACE-PSP, AGC CM-Lean, Acumen Fuse and Risk Analysis certified. I also am a certified Lean Builder, a Registered Scrum Master and am certified in Advanced Work Packaging (AWP). I spent 10+ years planning and scheduling for multiple large GC's and personally had the opportunity to help to apply Takt in Construction to over 200 projects. I have taught thousands of individuals and organizations operational excellence and how to apply lean principles in the construction industry in 24 states in the US and in 11 countries abroad. I am currently directing the company efforts for 5S, Last Planner and Takt Planning at Mortenson Construction one of the largest US based General Contractors. My goal in life to help the work life balance for all builders in the construction industry. So that I can go home and be with my wife and kids. Let’s connect and together get your project planned, scheduled, executed or even back on trac
