CHAD POORMAN

PRODUCT DESIGN • DESIGN SYSTEMS

I have fifteen years of experience across brand and product that have given me a well balanced approach to my work, and a genuine appreciation for the craft of design. I believe collaboration and camaraderie are the building blocks of truly great experiences. I love to learn, teach, mentor, and have fun doing it.

When I’m not cranking out work, you can find me at a baseball game with my family, working in the yard, or on a road trip adventure.
