It's nice to meet you!

Gabi Peters

Design Engineer, etc.

I've worked in design engineering, design research, and manufacturing engineering. While it may seem like a wild career path, I'm not afraid of jumping into something new, and adding to my knowledge of product development.

I have completed numerous projects from custom architectural components to intricate machined parts all the way from post it sketches to finalized production orders.
