Thank you for looking at my profile. I help small to mid-sized companies, start-ups and inventors design, develop and commercialize physical product ideas. I can help you with something as complex as the full product creation lifecycle - initial product idea through to shipping manufactured product - or something as small as a simple part design in SolidWorks, or anything in between. As an all-around "product person" - part industrial design, mechanical designer, product manager, creative thinker and more - I've got wide and deep experience in creating and manufacturing product in different industries, including cycling, protective goods, motocross/action sports, head mounted wearables and EV chargers, and for global companies like Specialized Bicycles, Easton/Bell Sports (Bell Helmets, Blackburn, Vistalite, Rhode Gear and Hydrapak), Fox Racing, POD Active, Vufine, ChargePoint and more. Reach out to discuss your ideas and how we can collaborate! I look forward to hearing from you.
