I am both an Industrial Designer and Mechanical Engineer experienced in helping clients create, design, engineer, and develop market ready products. I can help bring your idea from a simple concept into full scale manufacturing. With over 20 years of experience, I'm fast and efficient in 3D CAD modeling, a master of mechanical design, can problem solve quickly in any stage of the development process, all while make sure your product has the aesthetic appeal you desire. My work is diverse covering many product categories and industries: - Bicycles - Baby strollers and accessories products - Commercial electronics housings - Wellness and exercise equipment - Kitchenware - Furniture and Lighting - Pet products - Games and toys In many of these industries I have worked with industry standards for both safety and manufacturability including getting US and EU certifications with 3rd party testing facilities. My network of vendors is wide ranging in both the US and Asia where I lived in Taiwan for 4 years working directly with factories. My specialties include aesthetics, mechanism design and design for manufacture. And I am knowledgable in injection molding, stamping, casting, CNC machining, assembly processes, and 3D printing just to name a few.
