I’m an industrial designer who makes things, talks to people, and cares about how products treat the people using them.

As a top-of-class graduate at North Carolina State University for Industrial Design, I led real-world design projects for Eastman Chemical Company, IBM and the North Carolina Department of Justice. I excel at drawing relationships between key stakeholders and developing critical problem-solving by optimizing the user experience.

I’m open to full time work and projects, however, I’m also finishing grad school at NC State University in May 2027. If you’d like to chat about work or design in general, you can reach me at Sagecofield@gmail.com.
