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.

(Mechanical Engineer and CAD Instructor) Elise spent her childhood taking apart her Barbie dolls to see how the joints worked, the method used to fasten the hair to the head, and investigating the plastic material reactions under different environmental stresses , such as heat, cold, and being submerged in sand, oil, water, paint, mud, and clay. While her sisters failed to appreciate her early research - especially when their dolls were drafted into service - mechanical engineering was an obvious career choice. Her BSME is from San Jose State University. Elise's first CAD software was AutoCAD in the early '80s and her current software of choice is SolidWorks. She taught Revit and SolidWorks at Laney College in Oakland. For fun, she sits in front of a high-powered CAD workstation and designs electro-mechanical enclosures . She now tortures different materials using computer simulation - not as messy, but just as entertaining as those early experiments with her Barbie dolls.
