About

I map pressure, strap angles, and load paths on different body types to prevent hot spots and fatigue. I care about pain reduction and sustainable carry over long days.

Core Beliefs

Comfort is measurable and should be fit to bodies, not marketing personas.

Background

A wedding doubleheader left a bruise under my clavicle from a soft webbing strap. I started pressure-mapping shoulders and hips with a cheap sensor mat and colored chalk on shirts. The bag that looked 'sleekest' lost; the one with load lifters and curved wings let me finish pain-free.
