Robert loves old tattered books, Kona coffee, mountaineering, and anything outdoors.

Before starting his studies in Industrial Design he designed the family house at eighteen. Later, he worked in the built environment on commercial and residential LEED building certifications around the world. After doing some soul-searching in full on Keroac style he decided  shaping not only environments, but the products people use on a daily basis would be rewarding. With that, Robert forged ahead with his  degree emphasizing biomimetics and green practice methodologies winning notoriety from the likes of the DaVinci Institute with a biomimetic horizontal axis wind turbine design.

Afterwards, Robert went on to co-found re:thought, a sustainability consulting firm before making the jump to the educational experiential side of the Children’s Museum
