About this service

I help you transform your product idea into a clear, actionable plan. Together, we'll develop your strategy to save on costly mistakes. Then I'll create a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) roadmap showing you how to actually get it made with the resources you have available. You'll receive practical guidance on manufacturing choices you might not have considered, cost considerations, and next steps—whether you're working with local makers, online manufacturers, or within your own facilities. Perfect for entrepreneurs who need a hardware co-founder to call.

Questions and answers

Just your idea and any sketches or notes you have. I'll guide you through the rest and identify what's missing or any major factors affecting your direction.

No! I'm your jargon buster - details will be as clear as you need them, actions with notes as required.

Meeting notes after every call and a written actionable plan based on the time budget.

ertainly. Every project needs a budget, and part of the strategy is finding cost-effective solutions that match your resources.

While I can get into projects on a rolling requirement, I want to open my services to have helpful influence as early in the process as possible. Let's chat.
