Hi, I’m Vince
I am passionate about soft-goods design and all things creative. As a graduate from the California Collage of Art and Design, I got my start as an Industrial Designer working in domestic manufacturing mentoring under the founder of Gregory Mountain Products – Wayne Gregory. This was to lay my foundation of technical backpack design and manufacturing knowledge that I would carry with me throughout my outdoor industry career. I have designed technical backpacks, personal hydration systems, running and cycling products, tactical load-bearing and armor systems, mountaineering tents and camping shelters, and even have experience designing technical outdoor apparel and camouflage pattern design.
Early on
I am a U.S. Army combat veteran with 6 years service. This amazing experience has allowed me to be able to achieve my dream of going to college. Being in a light Infantry Airborne unit I learned to depend on my issue gear and life-saving equipment and developed a critical eye for design. I also developed a love for the outdoors which led to backpacking, climbing, snowboarding and cycling.
Current
I started my design consultancy in 2024, this allowed me to fulfill my creative outlet all while working on a variety of challenging projects. Since then I have helped several companies realize their new product goals – from a technical runners pack, to cutting-edge wearable robotics, to new ballistic body-armor carriers for Law Enforcement and Military.
