About
I translate enrichment goals into measurable metrics—chew resistance, engagement half-life, and cleanability—validated through shelter and foster testing.
Core Beliefs
When we can measure it, we can trust it—and improve it.
Background
I once logged a week at three shelters, tagging toys by material and weighing them before and after every shift. Chew scars, tooth dents, lost mass—it all got recorded. The surprise wasn’t which toys lasted, but how predictable failure modes were once we grouped dogs by playstyle, jaw band, and arousal.
Perspective
I favor durable, test-verified designs over novelty and aesthetics.
