Product design and development

Z Axis Product Design

I am a Product Designer/ Design Engineer. I have about 20 years of experience in the field, much of that within the medical field. In addition to medical products I have developed two telephones for the consumer market. I am familiar with all phases of the product development process. From the back of the napkin sketch to tooling for injection molded housings.

Outside of the medical field I have an interest in furniture, lighting and toy design. I am currently working on several of my own concepts as well as consulting with several companies.

Inventive solutions to design and engineeering challenges.

Locating new interesting product development projects.
