His work is grounded in a deep understanding of how emerging technologies, thoughtful workflows, and strong communication can elevate both internal processes and customer outcomes.
Before joining Edge, Greg held roles in academic research labs, design organizations, and teaching positions, giving him a uniquely multidisciplinary foundation. He contributed to speculative design projects with Drexel University’s Design Futures Lab, developed course materials and taught graduate-level classes on hybrid fabrication, and supported research initiatives in architecture, healthy living environments, and autism-related health outcomes.
