Hi, I’m Shai, a mechanical design engineer with over 12 years of experience helping teams turn ideas into functional, manufacturable products. My background spans the full product development cycle, from early R&D and concept design to prototyping, testing, and production handoff.
I’ve worked across medical devices and consumer products, leading designs that balance creativity, precision, and manufacturability. I enjoy solving complex mechanical challenges and finding elegant, practical solutions that make real-world impact.
Core skills include:
3D CAD modeling & detailed drawings (SolidWorks expert)
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & supplier-ready documentation
Prototyping & mechanical testing (with in-house 3D printing capability)
Packaging and assembly design (including validation and testing)
Electro-mechanical and optical integration
Rapid concept development and iteration
I’m quick to communicate, easy to collaborate with, and bring a hands-on approach to every project, whether it’s refining an existing design or building something entirely new.

I help supplement and pet-product brands develop products that are formulation-ready, compliance-aware, and manufacturable before capital is committed.
My background combines 17+ years in pharmaceutical R&D and QA systems with a 12-year independent consulting track record of 400+ developed products across capsules, powders, liquids, gummies, pet products, functional beverages, topicals, and specialty nutrition formats.
Most supplement projects start with ingredients — I start with the system behind the product.
Supplement formulations are more than trendy ingredients, and supplement products are much more than formulas. A viable product must survive sourcing, documentation, label review, claim scrutiny, CMO execution, testing, packaging constraints, cost pressure, and scale-up without drifting from the original intent.
My role is to prevent structural failure before the product reaches manufacturing, compliance review, or market scrutiny.
I Help Brands Evaluate:
• Formula logic and active-dose feasibility
• FDA / DSHEA claim exposure
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient sourcing and COA risk
• Manufacturing variability and CMO fit
• Testing, specifications, and documentation needs
• Cost of goods and margin pressure
• Scale-up and transfer readiness
6–18 months after rushed launches, brands often discover issues such as under-dosed formulas, unstable actives, weak claims, label redesigns, failed testing, supplier inconsistencies, or manufacturer drift.
These are rarely just formulation problems — they are product architecture problems.
What I Help With:
• Supplement formulation and product architecture
• Capsule, powder, gummy, liquid, pet, and functional product development
• FDA / DSHEA-aware label and claim review
• Pet supplement and animal nutrition products with FDA/CVM-aware, AAFCO-aligned review
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient selection, sourcing, COA review, and supplier risk screening
• Testing strategy, specifications, and documentation planning
• CMO sourcing, quote-readiness, and manufacturing transfer
• Pilot batch review and troubleshooting
• Product line strategy for premium supplement brands
Who I Work Best With:
I work best with serious founders, funded startups, growth-stage brands, and performance-driven supplement companies that want to build products correctly before moving into production.
I am not the best fit for projects that only need an ingredient list or surface-level label edits without broader product review.
I am the right fit if you want a product that is:
• Regulatory-durable
• Manufacturable at scale
• Defensible under competitive scrutiny
• Built with sourcing and testing controls
• Structured for margin integrity
• Cleanly transferable to a qualified manufacturer
Engagement Structure:
Most full product-development projects begin with a Phase 1 Product Architecture Roadmap.
Before final formulation begins, we define the product strategy, regulatory posture, claim direction, ingredient logic, manufacturing pathway, testing needs, and documentation structure.
For smaller projects, I also provide focused formulation reviews, label/claim audits, CMO-readiness reviews, and advisory support.
Execution follows structure — not the other way around.
For high-alignment projects, ongoing advisory and manufacturer coordination may also be available.
I take on a limited number of projects so each engagement receives the depth, precision, and technical oversight it deserves.
If you are building a serious supplement or pet-product brand and want to reduce expensive unknowns before they surface, send me a message.

I'm a passionate communications professional with a B.A. in English and a decade of diversified experience in writing, editing, and content development.
I'm a skilled writer because I'm an avid reader. I know flow — and lack thereof.
I've crafted blogs and brochures, tech manuals and tweets, scripts and storyboards.
From newsrooms to boardrooms, I’ve seen the same challenges arise again and again, rooted in these fundamental questions: What are we actually trying to communicate? How do we best communicate it?
My approach is intuitive and human-centered, with the goal of connecting the people on one side of the page — or screen — to the people on the other.
I do this by:
-Emotionally engaging to inspire action
-Conveying complexities through story or symbol
-Formulating responses with tact and accuracy
-Eliminating redundancies for conciseness and clarity
My industry experience spans technology, health and wellness, government, nonprofit, medical and dental, education, spirituality, real estate, environment, transportation, and news. Specialties include SEO, digital transformation, learning management systems, and all types of marketing collateral.
Whether you need help finding the forest or describing the trees, I look forward to working with your content and delivering it thoughtfully to your reader.
