Owner, Product Developer

Engineering & Production

With a Masters of Science in Sports Product Design I am deeply invested in bringing innovative outdoor and athletic products to market. I am a highly motivated creative thinker and a strong problem solver with hands-on fabrication experience in collaborative, fast paced environments. With that experience, comes expertise in managing and organizing in-depth projects while maintaining self-driven and external deadlines within strict financial budgets. As a product developer I am eager to grow and hone my problem solving and managerial abilities along side an excellent team of individuals in the outdoor industry.

What started as winning an entrepreneurship grant, has turned into a profitable and self-sustaining small business with customers across the US and around the world. BINGO is also developing a growing number of wholesale dealers with brick and mortar bike shops in the US and recently adding the newest dealer in Tokyo, Japan. BINGO continues to be a one-person operation, but with success of my first product, the B1 Headset Spacer, production has grown 700%. I have achieved this while maintaining the integrity of the product and brand, improving quality control, lowering production costs and streamlining the bill of materials.

Through a collaboration with Nike Community Impact, and Girls Inc, and the University of Oregon, I organized and lead monthly learning sessions to encourage underserved youth in the Portland metro area to follow their interest in STEM topics and healthy active lifestyles.

As the in-house mechanic at the North American headquarters I assembled and maintained bicycles sold locally in the LA area, including bicycles for the showroom and extending to at-home service for select clients. I also oversaw quality control for incoming bikes from the Taiwanese manufacturer. This included spotting potential issues, and implementing service solutions for the Brand Manager to communicate to the dealers around the North and South American territories.

Mechanic, Technical Service Advisor, Quality Control

Responsibilities included providing excellent communication and customer service to bicycle retailers and consumers using our hard good and soft good products. Clients included small independent bike shops to large multi-location outdoor lifestyle retailers. Ensured that the retailers sales needs were met, that techs and mechanics had a strong understanding of product knowledge, and were equipped to navigate the technical database that housed exploded diagrams, tech documents, and MSDS in collaboration with the B2B ordering and inventory software.

The Youth Bike Summit is an annual three-day national conference initially developed by Recycle-A-Bicycle. It brings together educators, advocates, activists, students, teenagers, practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and community leaders to engage around youth, bicycles, education, and advocacy.

My responsibilities included coordinating organizers, presenters and volunteers, maintaining schedules and the general order of the summit. I also designed and oversaw printing of the event program, signage and other printed material and updated and maintained event website. I lead one workshop focusing on in-store merchandising for non-traditional bike shops and participated in a panel discussion on outside revenue building.

Recycle-A-Bicycle (RAB) is a non-profit 501(c)3 that uses bicycles as a means of teaching kids work skills, environmental awareness, community involvement, and general healthy living. Initially hired as the Lead Mechanic at the East Village location, I trained and supervised staff mechanics, maintained strict quality control of our retail repairs, and overhauls of used bikes for resale including custom builds and vintage restorations.

I was promoted to Manager of the East Village store where I maintained inventory, placed orders, managed a limited budget, maintained shop records, scheduled staff, facilitated youth education, supervised the new Lead Mechanic, ensured a positive experience for customers while maintaining brand and mission.
