About

I love everything that moves and connects us. From down the block to across the country, the journey should be just as memorable as the destination. So lets rethink traditional transportation. My background as an automotive technician and Masters in Industrial Design strike a balance between possible and explorative designs.

As more people move to cities, existing transportation systems struggle to meet the growing demand. Increase use of cargo vans and trucks clog urban streets. This situation is compounded with the rise of online shopping and delivery services. Thus, sustainability-focused vehicles with small footprints that enable adaptable, on-demand cargo delivery can fulfill this unmet need. GetGo was designed to rethink local mobility and delivery. GetGo moves modest cargo in dense urban settings without sacrificing the nimble, space-conserving qualities so loved in motorcycles. GetGo is a new vehicle archetype that embodies the fast, nimble handling of a single-track vehicle which can convert on demand to carry cargo.
