Mason Menaker
I am an Industrial Designer and Apparel Designer with an expertise in activewear and outerwear. I not only have experience in the concept and design side of product, but also an in depth understanding of the technical and production side. Working at mid-sized companies early in my career has given me a direct connection to every part of the apparel design process. I am looking for a job at a company developing technical products for the outdoors and athletics space with a strong focus on sustainability and innovative material development.
What I bring to the table as a designer other than my technical capabilities, is my interaction with the environment. I am an avid outdoor and adventure enthusiast. When I can, I spend the majority of my time exploring nature and the world around me whether that be through, backpacking, ski touring, or trail running. Not only do these activities require me to interact with a wide range of gear and apparel, they also help inform my design process and understanding of the products that I am working on.
As well as my apparel, soft goods, outdoor gear background I have a strong skillset when it comes to woodworking and metalworking. I have spent 3 years now working with these materials through a number of different processes to create furniture, lighting, and a variety of home goods products.
I believe that I bring a broad variety of skillsets and interests to any company that I will be working at
