Want to bring your idea to life?
I am a product designer, specializing in initial design, prototyping, and manufacturing.
Skilled Prototyping
I have over a decade of experience in both COTS and custom prototyping, with specialties in electronics and rigid plastic bodies.
Manufacturing Experience
I bring first hand experience with local, low to medium volume manufacturers, and large volume manufacturers in Shenzhen, China.
'Big 4' Quality
I balance my engineering strengths with business professionalism, planning, and management built from my time with Ernst & Young.
B2B Communications
Whether with manufacturers, clients, or investors, I have specializations in award-winning communication and presentations capabilities.

How I get from idea to thing:
My Development Process
-
Initial Design
01.We'll start by identifying your high level goals, key features, and your target consumer. With this, we can leverage research, testing, and modeling to identify specific capabilities and limitations which will drive the initial design of your product. 3D renders will be used to flesh out the look and feel, and module testing will prove out concepts and resolve technical hurdles.
-
Iterative Prototyping
02.With Iterative Prototyping, we start with a goal of a "Functionally Adequate" prototype, which meets all the base requirements. This time focusing and cost saving measure enables quick results, enabling earliest possible consumer testing, which benefits all the subsequent iterations leading to the Consumer Ready prototype.
-
Finalization
03.As the testing phase of Iterative Prototyping closes, the focus shifts to mass production. We identify how each part may be easily manufactured, and engage with potential manufacturing partners to get early input to cost saving measures, lead times, and associated upfront costs. With this information, you'll be ready to push your product into the market with identified manufacturing partners, pricing requirements, and a timeline to support research into order and shipping logistics.

My Client Testimonials
"While working with Scott he showed a great level of professionalism both in terms of his responsiveness and his ability to ensure the vision of the product matched what was ultimately delivered. Scott was magnificent in communicating the design process from start to finish and I never once felt I was not his most important client even though I know he was simultaneously working on multiple projects with other clients. During the design process Scott was able to take it step by step to ensure accuracy which ultimately led to a product design and drawing well beyond my expectations."
"Scott's incredible vision and deep technical expertise has yielded the incredible new information governance capability of "Find More Like This" within our tool. He continues to differentiate our capabilities in addressing core data management challenges!"
"Scott came through admirably when working on my project. The amount of research that went into finding the right material, appropriate dimensions and overall construction for a bagpipe tenor drone cannot be overstated. The comparison of sound is almost identical. The result of this will lead to a more affordable instrument to help people get into the type of music I love to play."
"Thanks for your hard work over the holidays. We truly appreciate your drive and your relentless focus on solving problems. We look forward to seeing the outcomes from the current project and the future wins from this work!"

"Scott created a personalized clock for our wedding that counts up from the moment we said I do so we can know the exact number of hours that we have been married. He worked with me to identify the right style to fit our wedding theme and customized the code so it would start in seconds instead of hours to create a more dramatic effect. It is one of my most treasured items in our house. "
