Kendrick is an innovative, self-starter, and determined mechanical engineer in the Prosthetics Science and Technology Research Lab at the University of Washington. Currently seeking opportunities to expand design, product development, and broad fabrication skill set through research projects, digital design, and product development.

Kendrick has always been interested in an interdisciplinary approach to problems and earned dual undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Cellular Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz in hopes of creating wearable technology. Since graduating college in 2011, Kendrick has directed his work and education toward understanding manufacturing and engineering design in the biomedical field.

In 2012, he joined a novel prosthetics company, LIM Innovations, and over the course of five years, helped build and design two modular prosthetic sockets with his knowledge of CAD/CAM software, CNC machines, and metal fabrication. Along with the LIM team, Kendrick’s work has been highlighted in Wired Magazine, Core77 Magazines, and The Verge.

In 2017, Kendrick began working as a self-employed fabricator while he took classes in preparation for his master studies at UW.

Today, his vision for modernizing prosthetic sockets focuses on the ease of use for the patients. He hopes to employ the same adaptable technology to everyday items such as clothes or shoes.

While some of the following projects are under a confidentiality agreement, they have been given permission to be released by their respective parties.
