His passion for understanding how things tick began when early childhood toys became more interesting when being disassembled. Some of that attitude remains today, but the toys have changed. Tyler is inspired by the natural world, long bicycle rides, canoeing, hunting, fishing, sewing, designing, engineering, and rebuilding whatever he can get his hands on. Tyler holds a BFA in industrial design from Columbia College Chicago. Let's create something!
