    Leveraging over 12 years of product development experience in the consumer, industrial, and automotive industries to bring my clients' ideas to life. I am fluent in every step of the product development process, from concept to mass production as well as engineering analysis and patents. I have helped over 150 clients now bring their ideas to market in the last 5 years! Check out my website for more information on all the services I offer as well as more examples of my work: bitarmachinedesign.com. Services Offered: - Concept Development - need to fully visualize your idea? - Alpha Prototype Development - want to see if it actually works? - Beta Prototype Development - start presenting a fully functional tradeshow or demonstration version of your product. - Manufacturing - low to high volume runs of injection molded parts. We even do the tooling design in house! - Patents and Trademarks - protect your idea and secure your market share! Interested in learning about how you can use sustainable materials in your product or looking for ways to prototype FDA compliant products from safe materials? I've spent countless hours researching these problems to help my client and have successfully implemented cost-effective solutions for them over many projects. I have built a robust network of manufacturers both domestically (USA) and internationally that support sustainable and FDA-compliant materials for both prototyping and manufacturing. Let's chat about how to make your product safer or more environmentally conscious.
