Method & Muse Spirits

Co-Founder • 2023 – Present
Method & Muse tasting room interior in downtown Arvada, Colorado

Overview

I co-founded Method & Muse Spirits, an award-winning Colorado craft distillery, with Prof. Aubrey Wigner and four fellow Mines alumni. Our tasting room is in downtown Arvada. My side of the business is the engineering one: process optimization, quality control, and production decisions grounded in data.

Innovation

  • Patent-pending non-alcoholic spirit concentrate (filed 2024)
  • Activity conducted in accordance with Mines outside employment and conflict-of-interest policies

Philosophy

The name describes how we work: a systematic method, paired with the creative judgment that decides what is worth making. Every product goes through rounds of testing and refinement before release, the same way I ask students to work in design courses.
