* Whether you're an startup entrepreneur or representing a large company, if you have a tangible product concept that needs to be developed for manufacturing, I will work with you to understand your desired end results, and produce all the 3D CAD models, drawings and specifications necessary for prototyping and production. * Should you need design suggestions or recommendations, I will share my experience and creativity, or perform research and due diligence to find the ideal means for bringing your idea to life. * I have over 10 years of experience specifying and procuring materials and components, as well as coordinating with manufacturers. * I understand design for manufacturability. While CAD allows a designer to model infinite possibilities and impossibilities, the reality is that there's a relatively narrow range of optimal designs that work within available manufacturing technologies and processes. I am conscientious of design that is cost effective, incorporates high quality attributes and appeals to the end user or market. * Design processes normally go through iterations; I facilitate your product development experience to ensure it is as smooth and stress-free as it can possibly be.
