Andrew Portello

I’m an Industrial Designer passionate about creating products that balance form, function, and user experience. I recently graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Industrial Design, earning summa cum laude honors. My experience includes medical-grade packaging, consumer product concepts, and custom freelance work. I enjoy taking ideas from early sketches through CAD modeling, prototyping, and preparation for production. I’m always looking for opportunities to apply my design skills to meaningful projects and collaborate with teams who value innovation and creativity.
