I provide an industrial design service that specializes in long term contracts, although I am always happy to work on smaller projects to diversify my experience. My service does not stop at visually appealing design concepts but encompasses the full package taking the design from concept through prototyping and on to final manufacture. I will provide you with all the required files needed for your products manufacture. The one point that binds all my years of experience and knowledge is my determination to provide a consistent high-quality service.
