Founded Oransi in 2009 to build a brand focused on improving indoor air quality.

In 2021, we merged with Aviemore Technologies. We are an electric motor technology company with a clean energy, sustainable mission.

NIH and Dr Fauci used our air purifiers during COVID at their office as did the Javits Center in NYC at their COVID field hospital.

Late diagnosed autistic and advocate for autism awareness in the workplace. Interests include electrification, psychology, marketing, climate change and indoor air quality.

I am the Chair of the AHAM (Association Home Appliance Manufacturers Association) Air Cleaner Council. AHAM is the organization that sets the industry standards for air purifiers in the US. I have developed indoor air quality products for 20 years, driven by my son who suffered with asthma and looking for better & safer ways to clean the air.

Brand Story
My grandmother grew up in Finland and was influential in my life. She endured hardships and yet oozed kindness, empathy and funny. I’ve always been drawn to clean, Nordic design and simplicity.

Oransi is a variation of oranssi, the Finnish word for orange. I grew up in Syracuse, NY where my dad was an adjunct professor at Syracuse Univ (the orange) as well as a mechanical engineer for GE where he led a team that designed radar systems. In growing up around the world of GE, I saw how we used to make appliances and electronics locally in the '70s' and '80's and watched it all move overseas. Excited to bring it back.
