I’m a curious engineer with an affinity for solving complex problems. With nearly a decade of product development experience, I’ve navigated large cross-functional organizations as a lead engineer as well as small, scrappy teams wearing many hats. From start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, I’m passionate about bringing new products to market. A majority of my experience has been consumer electronics, however I’ve tackled projects ranging from microfluidics to sporting goods. I enjoy digging deep during the early, murky stages of a project and seeing it through detailed design stages. As much as I love the design work, I’m always eager to get a few days in the lab or workspace tinkering with a prototype or assembly. When I’m not behind a desk, with a client or in the workshop, I’m usually outdoors - preferably somewhere in the mountains hiking or sliding on the snow or paddling in open water. https://www.merritttennison.com/work daily 1.0 2023-11-21 https://www.merritttennison.com/work/battery monthly 0.5 2020-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1585931757263-IJ1L2R6NZ04MCRN65GWU/lithium+batt+dw-3.jpg Work -

Before a ‘production’ effort to commercialize the tealight system was even considered, we first sought to develop the technology behind the flamelike experience. Working closely with another electrical engineer and industrial design lead, I established a preliminary product architecture for a tethered tealight. Through multiple prototyping iterations along with experimentation with materials, light sources and LED configurations (and a healthy dose of late-night tinkering), we delivered a breadboard in less than 2 months with flexible adjustments to brightness, radial movement and selectable profiles. Seeking to minimize part count and complexity, this was achieved without any moving parts using a proprietary LED arrangement and sequencing algorithm to ‘throw’ the light like a real flame. The client was absolutely thrilled and asked us to put a proposal together to commercialize the tealight system to sell through glassybaby retail and online stores. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586135004460-7TTIP0FZL6O6T1PZUAN9/IMG_8413.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586115794837-CCTCAHMVKF4D43DR27Y7/gb+1.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586115791177-Z9VCL8K83B2D0BJSWFBJ/gb+2.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586115806221-46Q5IO3DQVWKK5SKWNNO/gb+4.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586117813739-X2W35L50RD7C0PCB9N1C/gb+5.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586134425659-V7O8WBHNI9DILQ1T279F/gb+6.jpg Work - evie tealights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586134426267-C7CZ9G9ZFHKK42E2UHF1/gb+7.jpg Work - evie tealights https://www.merritttennison.com/work/rocking-chair monthly 0.5 2020-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586299236511-JGX7TVFCA589PV3PZQOL/chair3.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586370421197-WD4X5784IKYGL4VU90BH/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586370404835-9BU825QSJ7QM3O0Y34K3/chair8.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586198910092-6LTGBYD2C0KVBNNMLGL6/chair2.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586369910610-UM84WF9TUI5LG8IEUW0F/chair10.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586198843876-T1DSWL57OJW7FKRW1KWB/chair4.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586369897776-VG1ZHHOZJUL9HACH2CA9/chair12.jpg Work - Rocking chair failed attempt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586369937533-R1L6KXZ519FB2P7V31RN/chair5.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586323406279-FIL4CXRXKZACV370GSKE/chair11.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586369932778-25KB0OLIB0HBCAL3VYYV/chair6.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/1586369932612-Q7TEMGP5A2KUZEHLK1KJ/chair7.jpg Work - Rocking chair https://www.merritttennison.com/work/landscape-xz2aj-7rz3t monthly 0.5 2023-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e86be5507c63e7618a3dd1f/dc736328-2f05-48bf-be23-5fff68006207/IMG_0977.jpeg Work - Amazon Prime Air Delivery Drones
