I specialize in working with small and mid-sized companies, including startups to:- Ideate on product designs, from incremental improvements to blue sky ideation- Establish a risk burn-down plan, sometimes including drafting tech development plans- Prove out new designs through creation of sub-component and full Minimum Viable Product prototypes- Construct efficient pre and post-production test plans- Ensure successful capture and handoff of design intent to production partnersAdditionally I regularly assist clients in expedient creation of "looks like" and "works like" prototypes for user research, pitch meetings, and pre-production design improvement.I am available to offer external consults on Design Reviews on a per-client basis.I am an open-minded Engineering Design generalist. I have a broad wealth of technical knowledge and skills including but not limited to: - Mechanical Design, Finite Element Analysis, Stress & Failure Analysis- Consumer Products Design, Battery-Powered Electromechanical Systems- Prototype Design, including accompanying Mechanical Electrical & Software disciplines- Rapid Prototype Manufacturing - Plastics & Metals Additive Mfg, Small Batch PCB Assembly production- Customer Research and Feedback Distillation- GD&T, Tolerance Stackup, Production Cost-Down methods- Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Virtual Reality (AR, MR, VR) Demonstrations including creation of Custom Demo Hardware, writing "glue code", creating simulation environments

I design new and derivative products across a vast array of power tools and consumer goods. Primarily I create functional prototypes for the Ridgid, Ryobi, & Hart brands of power tools and lifestyle products. My position includes mechanical design, electronics design, software design & coding, and hands-on manufacture of concept products. I act as senior engineer in a diverse multidisciplinary team which includes Engineers, Industrial Designers, and Design Researchers.
