Welcome to my portfolio!
I'm Drew, and I am a designer out of Wisconsin.
My design path so far has taken me all over, from being patent-pending with Platt Toolbags, to working in visualization, brand, and concept development with Milwaukee Tool, to UI/UX/tech and investor pitch development with PSD, to manufacturing processes and CMF with Sig Sauer.
I love to learn and get very excited about new challenges, so you will frequently find me working hard to achieve something new. My passion lies in discovering new skills, talking to people to dive deeper into problems, and being very curious about how things work!
