In My Own Words

Hello. I am an product design consultant / entrepreneur. I currently freelance, designing and consulting for several consumer product based companies. I do contract work for large companies, small companies, and inventors. I specialize in project management of new product lines and start-up company development. I take my clients from ideation to prototyping, as well as branding, pitching, 3d engineering, into manufacturing, and then all the way to packaging and shipping finished products. My experience with various manufacturing techniques has given me an insight into industry that allows me to streamline product designs, so that they can be optimally manufactured.
