Please describe your organization’s core competencies and purpose of business:
My core competency is product development, including engineering consulting, mechanical design,
CAD, prototyping, sourcing, and product marketing. The purpose of my business is to assist
entrepreneurs and manufacturers in transforming ideas into tangible products.
Please describe what your organization can offer to NYS manufacturing companies:
I have nearly 20 years experience working for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies,
where I held various engineering and marketing/product development roles. I use this experience to
help manufacturers and inventors turn their ideas into profitable products by evaluating the product's
specified materials, available manufacturing methods, volumes, and cost targets, in order to optimize
the product's design within those constraints.
Please describe/list the number and types of products and/or services your organization sells.
1. CAD Work - Ideas, sketches or existing products are converted into electronic files. These can then
be used for patent applications, to create dimensioned manufacturing drawings, or to create
photo-realistic renderings for presentations and marketing purposes.
2. Design & Engineering - Concepts are fully developed to meet all necessary pre-determined
criteria, as well as being optimized for manufacturing efficiency and sales potential.
3. Rapid Prototyping - Using 3D printing and other methods, a concept is brought to life as a static
model or fully functioning prototype. These are ideally suited for use in presentations, sales
pitches, market research, physical testing, and more.
4. Product Marketing - Sales materials can be developed in tandem with the product's design to
ensure an accurate and consistent message. Deliverables include packaging, logo design, product
manuals, and brochures.
Please describe your organizational supply chains (describe the major supply chain or supplier types
that your organization serves/sells to, and buys from):
I mainly serve small manufacturing companies and entrepreneurs/inventors. Most of what I provide is
service-related (engineering/design expertise), but I also provide prototype parts. I typically get my
commodity materials locally (Home Depot, Lowes) or from online sources (McMaster-Carr, Afinia) and
build the prototypes in-house. For more complex parts I work with local and regional machine shops.
Industry (please describe your organization’s major industry sector(s)/sub-sector(s) classification):
Most of my company's work to date has been in either the Medical Devices or Consumer Durables
industry.
Which organizations do you consider as the major organizational competitors? Please list
organizational names
My main competition comes from companies that have internal design or R&D departments.
Generally, I don't consider other Engineering Firms as competitors because they typically are working
on much larger scale projects.
How many years has your organization been in business in New York:
Less than 2. I officially formed the LLC in March 2012, though I had been doing related freelance work
for approximately 6 months prior to that.
Please describe any notable accomplishments or successes you have achieved or facilitated for your
customers:
Most of my successes involve taking a completely new product idea and developing it into a working
prototype or pre-production part that performs successfully. Some specific accomplishments include:
- Developing various fixtures that helped reduce assembly time.
- Re-designing an existing product to allow a better customer experience by improving the usability
and reducing operator error. The design changes also resulted in cost reductions to the product.
- Designing and manufacturing (in limited quantities) an accessory part for a marginally successful
product. Sales of the original product are expected to increase now that its minor design flaw has
been resolved by the accessory part.

Please describe your domain expertise, capabilities, and focus areas (customers, applications,
markets, industries, etc.) any key words that represent your
My expertise encompasses the entire product development process. With a background in mechanical
engineering and an MBA focusing on both Marketing and Entrepreneurship, I can develop products
with a technical understanding of their design and functionality, while also considering the business
implications like cost targets and sales potential.
I have spent most of my professional career, nearly 20 years, working for small and medium sized
manufacturing companies. During this time I've been exposed to numerous manufacturing methods
and materials, ranging from forged and cast metals to injection molded plastics, along with various
machining and processing techniques. I was also intrigued with 3D printing technology early on, and
have adapted that into my portfolio over the past 2 years.
These background skills combined with the hands-on knowledge I've learned in factory settings have
given me a clear focus on the product development process. I'm able to comprehend not only how a
customer wants a given product to function, but also how the various materials, manufacturing
methods and volume requirements will affect the product's overall design, so I can focus on designing
profitable products that will exceed expectations.
