I transform concepts or prototypes into manufacturable designs ready for market. I have 30 years of delivering consumer products, car interiors and even medical devices for clients and my own company. I prioritise speed to market, development cost, or product cost according to your commercial needs.
Services I offer:
• Design for Manufacture (DFM)
• SolidWorks and KiCAD supplier build packs
• Materials and manufacturing process selection
• Costed bills of materials and realistic production cost targets
• Mechanical–electronics integration and packaging
• Assembly strategy and tolerance resolution
• Supplier identification and manufacturing planning
• Preparation for CE/UKCA testing and regulated environments
• Trouble shooting any technical or commercial aspect of product development
I can bridge between early prototypes and production with in-house 3D printing, laser cutting, assembly including specialist processes: cleanroom; low humidity; plasma surface treatment; freeze-drying; vacuum packaging. I have verified prototype and low-volume partners for injection moulding, CNC machining, pcb manufacture.
I have particular expertise in development of in-vitro-diagnostic (IVD) medical devices, from concept to production, from initial concept design through rapid design-build-test cycles leveraging my in-house prototyping facilities and testing laboratory,
If you are developing a physical product and need help turning a concept or prototype into a manufacturable design, feel free to get in touch.
As a fellow entrepreneur, I understand sometimes you are looking for specialist advice to supplement your in-house team, for example to trouble shoot, manage a difficult supplier, decide strategic direction, or even to evaluate alternative funding routes.For this I offer direct consultation sessions on an hourly basis.

“My experience with Dan was amazing. He's a great communicator with impeccable timeliness. Reviewing Dan's work was almost unnecessary as his attention to detail and quality were fantastic."
- One of many happy Upwork clients
***************
You're looking for a writer who understands tech and can write in-depth content that's pitched at just the right level for the reader.
With 10+ years' experience writing deep content and white papers for all sorts of B2B clients - SaaS, cybersecurity, smart manufacturing, cloud, data, AI, and more - I know how to research a market well, analyse data and info to come up with interesting insights, then create high-performance marketing materials that packs in a lot of value, but is easy to read.
My motto is "clarity beats clever".
************
I can also help with positioning and content strategy for tech companies.
If you have a great offer, but struggle to communicate it. I'll help pinpoint your ideal customer and their pain points, then come up with content angles that fit.
I'm an "ideas person" with a deep interest in tech, marketing, and human psychology, and the intersection between the three. It means I can come up with interesting ideas for content, as well as write it in a way that keeps people engaged.
My approach is to find the story first, write the piece using proven copywriting principles, add subtle engagement and persuasion techniques, enhance it for SEO (if needed), then edit it to make it flow in a natural way.
I can also help you create a clear content marketing strategy, including identifying content pillars, finding topics and angles to write about, and creating a content calendar.
If you need design for things like white papers, infographics, LinkedIn posts, and more, I can help with that too.

When you hire me, you’ll get the first draft within the agreed deadline. After feedback, I'll polish it and it's usually ready to publish after one or two revision rounds.
I aim to become an extension of your team - focused on your goals, your deadlines, your target market, and your results.
My writing aims to:
1. Get people's attention
2. Offer them well-researched relevant info and deep insights
3. Influence people to take action.

Services I Offer
***************
- Brand positioning and web copy - If your offer is strong but your message feels out of focus, I’ll help you clarify your positioning, develop a stronger page structure, and write copy that explains why people should care.
- Blog posts and technical essays - Useful, well-researched content that doesn’t read like it was assembled from the first page of Google or straight-outta-AI. Written to attract the right people and keep them reading.
- White papers - Deep dives into complex ideas, written in plain English. Plenty of substance for serious buyers, but clear enough to be easily read on a coffee break.
- Case studies - Customer stories that do more than say “the client was happy”. I’ll help show the problem, the thinking behind your solution, the work you did, and the results you got.
- One-pagers, brochures & other sales enablement content - Clear, useful assets your sales team can send to prospects with pride.
- Content strategy and planning - Ideas, angles, topics, and plans that give your content clear direction and purpose.

Let's Talk

My digital door is always open to founders, CEOs, marketing managers, engineers, and anyone else involved in the wonderful (and sometimes weird) world of B2B tech.
Ask me about content strategy, white papers, in-depth articles, thought leadership content, case studies, and anything else related to B2B content.
You read to the end of my profile.
Doesn't happen too often does it?
Might as well get in touch then, eh?
Joking aside - drop me a DM, I'm always up for talking about tech content - it's my passion and I love what I do.

I design real products that are made, tested and sold — not just nice-looking renders.
My background is product design, CAD, practical manufacturing and furniture production. I run Triformia, a UK-based 3D printing and product development business, where I design, manufacture and sell my own products across Amazon, Shopify and other platforms.
Before that, I also worked heavily in furniture design and production, including taking products from concept through to manufacture, improving production methods, working around material constraints, and designing with real-world assembly, strength and finish in mind.
That means I understand the full process: idea, CAD, prototype, test, manufacture, customer feedback and improvement.
I specialise in Autodesk Fusion 360 and design mainly for FDM 3D printing, with a strong focus on clean, functional and production-ready models. I can take a rough sketch, photo, basic idea or problem and turn it into a usable product that is built properly from the start.
What I can help with:
Product design from concept to prototype
Fusion 360 CAD modelling
3D printable STL and STEP files
Functional parts and mechanisms
Furniture/product design for manufacture
Design for FDM printing: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU
Improving or fixing existing STL files
Tolerances, wall thickness, print orientation and assembly fit
Product development advice for manufacturing and selling
Simple, practical designs that are ready for real-world use
A lot of designers can make something look good on screen. My strength is designing things that can actually be manufactured, assembled, handled, sold and used.
I have hands-on experience with a working print farm, furniture production, real customer products, Amazon listings, product testing and repeatable small-batch manufacturing. So when I design something, I’m already thinking about strength, print time, material choice, support reduction, failure points, ease of assembly, finish quality and whether it makes sense commercially.
If you need someone who can turn an idea into a proper manufacturable product, that is where I add value.
