DAYE NORTH AMERICA
A collection of work that I have been proud to be apart of at DAYE North America (DNA) over the two years.
Hybrid Zero Turn Lawn Mower
DNA approached me and my design partner (Travis Lintner) to design an innovative riding lawn mower concept in 2023. The product would utilize patent pending hybrid technology allowing the user to dabble in battery powered tools, while maintaining the reassurance of gas power.

Design Features
Snapper Battery Design
One of the first projects at DNA, I was tasked with designing a Battery for the Snapper Cordless handheld power tools. The battery would be used under the Green Machine and Snapper brands, so the client wanted VBL and CMF that could be shared between both brands.

AL-KO Rear-Engine-Riding Mower - In Progress Project
The Rear-Engine-Riding Lawn mower is meant to be designed for ease of use, comfort, and simplicity. Using only a 30" deck, this is a style of mower that are meant to be versatile, compact, and highly user-friendly. Here I was tasked to translate the existing AL-KO VBL into the Rea-Engine-Rider style lawn mower, for the US Market. This project is currently in the development stages. We have a design direction we would like to move forward with, and it is currently in the works with our Engineers.
