I am an industrial designer with over fifteen years of experience helping brands and startups bring consumer products from concept through manufacturing. I specialize in creating production-ready designs that balance usability, brand appeal, and real-world manufacturing constraints. My work spans early ideation and interaction development through detailed CAD, prototyping, and production handoff. I focus on consumer and juvenile categories, including toys, gear, and feeding products, delivering designs that engage users while performing reliably at scale. Clients value my ability to think strategically while executing with precision. I am known for clear communication, efficient collaboration with cross-functional teams, and delivering projects on schedule and within budget. Whether supporting an early concept or refining a design for production, I focus on practical solutions that help products succeed in the market.

Greetings, I hold a Ph.D. and I am a seasoned patent analyst, 3D modeler, inventor and product designer in New York. I have provided technical writing and illustrations for over 100 patents for 'pro se' inventors who represent themselves to the patent office. I hold a paralegal certificate and I often work under the supervision of attorneys, collaborate with engineers and innovators. I can go from design work to reverse engineering (using scanners), to prototype printing (8k resolution, resin and filament 3D printers), to fabrication drawings. I have also drafted user manuals and technical documentation and perform artificial intelligence prompt engineering. I am also a scientific author and illustrator specializing in technical writing, medical illustrations, statistics, grant writing, CAD drawings, proof-of-concept designs, as well as parametric mechanical designs. I utilize subscriptions for both AutoCADLT and Fusion360 routinely. I only accept a limited number of projects at a time so that I can maintain the quality and quick turnaround my clients have come to expect. Please know that I am NOT an attorney OR a registered patent agent, and I do NOT dispense legal advice or represent ANYONE to the USPTO - I only write technical content for those who chose to file themselves and my work is educational in nature. Thank you.

I work as an AI-native product design and development partner, the kind you bring on when you want to build something real from the ground up. I’m Ishaan, founder of TechBrig, and I personally lead every engagement. I also operate as a fractional product designer and manager on many of my projects, working directly on UX, flows, and product decisions alongside building out the underlying systems. When you work with me, you’re not handing things off to a faceless agency, you’re getting a hands-on partner who thinks and operates like an in-house teammate, fully invested in the outcome. We bring together product design, engineering, and AI automation expertise to help teams go from 0 to 1. That means shaping the product vision, designing intuitive experiences, and building production-ready software, whether you’re launching something new or layering AI into an existing system. We’ve helped startups design and ship full-scale products, from early MVPs to complex internal and enterprise tools. In parallel, we work closely with traditional businesses to implement AI and automation into real workflows, from recruiting and legal to accounting and operations, helping teams scale without adding unnecessary complexity. Our philosophy is simple. This isn’t just about clean code or the right stack. It’s about building systems that actually work in the real world, with someone who takes ownership, moves fast, and understands both product and execution. If you’re looking for a partner who’s deeply involved, product-minded, and able to bridge design, engineering, and AI, I’d love to talk.
