About

After earning a BS in Industrial Design at Philadelphia University (now Thomas Jefferson University), Galen moved to North Carolina to work with Glen Raven Inc. as its first industrial designer. While in NC, he took a short course in sustainable energy at Alamance Community College and became involved with the Triad Electric Vehicle Association.

Galen moved back north to Philadelphia to pursue a contract design and project management role with Tiny WPA (a non-profit and community-based organization in West Philly). After his time with Tiny WPA and a few other freelance projects, Galen then spent four years as a Surgical Optics Technician, repairing surgical equipment and developing tools and processes for improved repair quality.

Galen accumulated a diverse background from his experiences and is using it as a freelance designer at G Kane Design (a cool company name, I know). Some of his current projects are in children’s toy development and automotive repair tools. He loves working on a wide array of projects and looks to expand his repertoire into new industries.

Outside of work, Galen enjoys being… outside! His favorite activities are mountain biking, snowboarding, camping, kayaking, backpacking, and hiking.

Galen is not usually one to speak or write in the third person.
