I’m a soft goods designer and design leader with more than 20 years of experience creating bags, golf products, luggage, and accessories, for leading brands.
I’ve worked across the full product development process, from strategy and early concepts through design, development, prototyping, and manufacturing. My approach balances creative thinking with the practical details that make a product work: materials, construction, cost, consumer needs, and how it will ultimately be made.
Today, I’m the Founder & Creative Director of Carryforth Design, a soft goods design consultancy helping established brands, startups, and product teams bring better products to market.
Carryforth can lead a project from idea to production or plug in where a team needs additional expertise or design capacity. 
Areas of expertise include:• Soft Goods Design• Product Strategy & Concept Development• Product Development• Bags, Backpacks, Luggage, & Golf• CADs & Tech Packs• Materials & Construction• Prototype Development• Factory & Manufacturing Collaboration
Always interested in connecting with brands, product teams, founders, and manufacturing partners working on interesting products.
