Senior Industrial Designer | Product Development Expert | Concept to Manufacturing I am a Senior Industrial Designer with 15+ years of experience developing consumer products from early concept through mass production. I help startups, entrepreneurs, and established brands turn ideas into manufacturable, market-ready products by combining industrial design, engineering awareness, and real-world manufacturing knowledge. My focus is not just creating attractive concepts — it is developing products that can actually be produced, scaled, and sold. Over the past decade, I have worked on a wide range of consumer products including consumer electronics, home & kitchen products, oral care, medical devices, lifestyle accessories, and kids’ products. My work has supported products sold through major retailers and global brands including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Newell Brands, Perrigo, Gibson Homewares, Microsoft, Nokia, and Disney. I specialize in guiding products through the entire development pipeline — from initial concept and design language to production-ready CAD and factory collaboration. My process focuses on three key outcomes: • User-centered design that stands out in the market • Engineering-aware development that reduces costly redesigns • Manufacturing-ready CAD optimized for tooling and production I regularly collaborate with engineering teams, sourcing specialists, and manufacturers to ensure a smooth transition from design to manufacturing. My experience with materials, tooling, and production methods allows me to design products that are both beautiful and practical to manufacture. Core Services • Industrial Design & Product Strategy • Concept Ideation & Design Exploration • Sketching & AI-Assisted Concept Development • 3D CAD Development (Production-Ready) • Product Architecture & Internal Layout • CMF (Color, Materials, Finishes) • Prototyping & Supplier Collaboration • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Manufacturing & Production Guidance Typical Clients I Work With • Hardware startups preparing for production • Entrepreneurs launching new consumer products • Companies expanding their product lines • Teams that need production-ready CAD and manufacturing support I am known for being detail-oriented, proactive, and highly collaborative, with a strong focus on moving projects forward efficiently and avoiding costly development mistakes. Whether you need help refining an idea, developing production-ready CAD, or bringing a complete product to market, I would be happy to support your project. I look forward to learning about your product and helping bring it to life.
