Founder, Workbench Studios
I design operational systems for businesses that have outgrown their digital setup.
I earned a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina State University, where I focused on process optimization, systems modeling, and operational efficiency. After graduating, I worked as an industrial engineer in furniture manufacturing — conducting time studies, improving plant layouts, evaluating equipment ROI, increasing yield, and implementing lean and cellular manufacturing principles.
Working on the plant floor taught me to see systems clearly: find the constraint, reduce waste, stabilize flow, and design for sustainable throughput. But it also taught me something equally important — the best systems aren’t engineered in isolation. They require listening to the machine operator who works that station every day and the supervisor responsible for daily output. A layout can be efficient on paper, but it must also be humanly workable in practice. The system has to support the people inside it.
I later completed a B.S. in Recording Industry & Management (Audio Production) from Middle Tennessee State University. That path led into audio post-production — editing, mixing, dialogue sweetening, sound design, and signal cleanup. It reinforced a complementary discipline: precision, clarity, and building environments that allow performance to happen without friction.
From there, I expanded into web design, motion graphics, and digital production systems — intentionally applying engineering discipline to digital environments and building the operational infrastructure I design today.
Workbench Studios exists to move businesses from manual friction to structured resilience.
