Helping hardware startups launch products faster.

I help hardware startups turn early prototypes into manufacturable, investor-ready and production-ready products — without the need to hire a full-time product development team.

Building hardware is hard — especially when timelines are tight.

Hardware startups often reach a point where the product works in principle, but still needs serious development before it is ready for investors, manufacturing or customers.

Common challenges include:

  • The prototype looks rough or unfinished.

  • The enclosure is not ready for production.

  • CAD files need to be improved or rebuilt.

  • The product is too expensive or difficult to manufacture.

  • Suppliers need technical drawings and clear documentation.

  • The team needs product development support, but not a full-time hire.

This is where I can help.

I help startups close the gap between prototype and production.

I support hardware teams with hands-on Industrial Design, CAD Engineering, Design for Manufacturing and prototype development.

Instead of only creating attractive concepts, I help develop physical products that can actually be built, tested, improved and manufactured.

My work bridges the gap between design, engineering and production.
