I design to solve problems, imagine how things can be, & make people’s lives a little bit better.
I love designing, but most of all I love rising up to the challenge even when it proves difficult as I have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, an avid Marathon Runner, and have designed promising solutions for several start-ups and companies.
As an Industrial Designer at Sabert, I meet customers in order to find ways for food packaging to delight and act sustainably. Customers include Wawa to P.F. Chang’s where I work directly in designing particular solutions.
For further information or materials, please reach out to me below.

“While Dylan worked with our team here at CNBC, he was a great example of quick learning, a respectful attitude, and a solid work ethic. He came to us without much experience but did not let that slow him down. He proved to be reliable and talented in a shorter window than was even expected of him. Dylan was truly a pleasure to have around and it was a loss when he moved on. Anyone would be fortunate enough to take him on as an employee.”
