I worked in Mac Product Design, where I worked on the first generation of MacBook Pros with Touchbar, which is what we called a “new architecture,” meaning that everything on the inside was redesigned, even if it looked similar form the outside. I worked specifically on the speaker design, microphone design, and overall system acoustics for the whole family of computers launched in 2016.

I also worked in Product Display, where we designed objects and spaces used to show off the core Apple products. I worked on the new tables and interactive displays for the Apple Watch launch, introducing the Apple Watch to Apple stores and to the world. I also designed plinths meant to disappear into the background and hold the impossibly light Macbook Airs.

As a product designer, I worked as a mechanical engineer, and collaborated deeply with Industrial Design, Manufacturing Design, Electrical Engineer, Board Layout, and Operations teams. I was deeply involved with manufacturing, spending weeks in China working in factories and slowly perfecting the manufacturing and assembly processes.
