My Outlook: Every product design project begins with a jumble of vague puzzle pieces. The pieces… market analysis, competitive analysis, price points, innovation, differentiation, aesthetics, concinnity, function, ergonomics, materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, assembly, packaging, shipping, users, manufacturers, costs, and the client. A myriad of considerations assemble into a design that makes your product unique, pertinent, targeted within its market, and profitable… a tangible object of desire and promise... a crisp image that makes sense. Every product wants to be something… to be desired and to realize its potential. I strive to stimulate that desire and optimize that potential… to solve the puzzle. My clients' success ensures my own and realizing that desire and potential benefits us both. My Experience: I use my degree in industrial design as a product designer/developer covering a wide variety of products. I have 20+ years of 3D modeling and product development experience. I have the resources to do it all... from concept to point of purchase and everything in-between. My Feedback, received and given: “Steve did great work helping us detail our product for manufacturing. He took the time to really understand the project and its intricacies instead of diving head first and by the end of this job, had an intimate understanding of all the details. He is talented and was willing to research new methods to help meet our stringent product constraints. We went through several discussions and he was excellent at being responsive and keeping things on track. He produced high quality solidworks assemblies and files. Overall he went above and beyond what was expected of him. Highly recommended contractor, A+++” —robocular “Antoine is an outstanding client to work with. He's quite knowledgeable and organized with clearly established goals coupled with exceptional communication skills. This project had some challenging constraints outside typical manufacturing and product design and development norms, but we worked through these challenges while staying within the target budget for the product. This project was more than I had bargained for, but I relished the challenge and Antoine appreciated the effort I put into it, which made this job particularly satisfying. I hope to work with Robocular again in the future.” —Io-Design “Working with Steve was a pleasure, not only do I think he’s an all-around good guy, but his approach to our project was great. He was able to take our idea and bring all his experience in making it better. Our initial idea was transformed into a product that ended up being cheaper to produce and nicer, while being more practical. We were able to overcome the hurdle we encounter and find solution that made it work! Also, he often came back with a different idea of doing things that were very practical. I Highly recommend him. ” — yvesl “Yvesi came to me with the need for a design for a grain dispenser for feeding livestock. As is often the case, he showed me a design from another designer he had hired that didn't meet the product requirements. This design was too large and could not be sold at a profit due to inappropriate and impractical manufacturing processes. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that is half the size, more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly, and is simple to assemble and install. Also, it will be sold at a projected price point that is 10% lower than the competition at a projected 90% profit margin while enjoying relatively low capital expenditures. It was a pleasure working with yvesi on this project and I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future.” —Io-Design “Io-Design was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided designs that were exactly what we were looking for and he took into account the manufacturing. I would recommend him to anyone. ” — Westone “As mentioned in the job description, Blake works for a company that represents the ultimate, uncompromising audio experience – revolutionary sound; unrivaled comfort and fit; with superior, innovative design in the earphone market. While they are well known among audiophiles and professionals who rely on uncompromising audio, they are less so in the consumer market. This project was part of an effort to update their earphones look, feel, and user experience to the level of their best in class earphone technology... the challenge being that their existing monitors/earbuds were to remain unchanged. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that practices concinnity with the existing monitors, introduces innovative solutions, targets the consumer market, and enhances brand recognition. Superior design was the point of this project and together we have achieved that goal. Blake is a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to the next project.” —Io-Design

The first thing you should note is that, if I have less than 100% for my Job Success Score, it is because I am spending more time working on a project instead of trying to get paid. Upwork's reasoning is that if I am not getting any regular milestone payments, then something must be wrong and it has nothing to do with the reviews left by my clients (which you can see below). It's more important to me that you get the product we agreed upon than it is to get paid a little faster. Please note that the overwhelming majority of my job awards have been Fixed Price, so I have few hours listed. In actuality, I have well over 200 hours on various projects here on Upwork. I am a degreed Electronic Engineer with 20+ years' experience with Analog, Digital, Mixed Signal and Embedded Design. My minor was Computer Science and I am a capable LabVIEW programmer. Additionally, I have advanced Mechanical CAD software (AutoCAD-compatible). I have created photo-realistic Concept Drawings for proposals, Mechanical Drawings for assembly and fabrication, and have 3D Printed plastic and metal objects.

My name is Brad. I have two degrees in mechanical engineering, and a professional license to accompany them. As a hobbyist I also have done some pretty deep dives into the realm of electrical engineering, and programming. Key skills in my repertoire: Advanced CAD design (Solidworks) Product Design Geometric Dimensioning and Toleranceing Expansive knowledge of manufacturing processes Finite Element Analysis Mechanism design Mechatronics/Robotics Industrial Automation PCB design microcontroller and microcomputer programming (C++ and Python) I've built up this skill-set from a variety of sources. I started my career at UTC aerospace systems where I designed tooling and machinery for explosive and propellant driven egress systems. Next I moved on to Ekso Bionics, where I helped design exoskeletons for the U.S. military, and helped develop internal products for the industrial work space. Currently I'm working as a mechanical design engineer at ICON aircraft, where I develop and optimize mechanical systems for the aircraft. In my free time I do a podcast with my best friend (DRAINSTEM, available on itunes, spotify, google play music, and stitcher), and I make YouTube videos where I use my engineering skills make cool stuff for nerds (The Dungineer).

- My strengths include creating models, assemblies and drawings in modeling software such as Creo Parametric and SolidWorks. - I have over four years experience working as a tooling engineer. - I have 10+ years working with CAD software and can work with you to get you the 3D model that you desire - Something that sets me apart from other people is that I have worked as a machinist for two years. This means I have experience using CNC machines, turning/milling operations that I can use to get you a design that can actually be manufactured.
