Turning your product idea into a real, manufactured product — without the costly trial and error. Whether you're launching a new product line, trying to source an existing product more efficiently, or exploring alternative suppliers, I help you avoid the expensive mistakes that come from not knowing the manufacturing world from the inside. I've spent 17+ years inside product design and manufacturing — not just sourcing from the outside looking in. That means I catch the hiccups before they cost you time and money: the supplier who looks great on paper but can't hold tolerances, the "cheaper" material that triples your defect rate, the packaging spec that fails customs. Brands I've worked with across design, development, and manufacturing: * Sports equipment: Mission Hockey, Brine, K2 * Music instruments: Takamine, Yamaha, Suhr Guitars, Fender * Textiles/retail: Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Sainsbury's * Medical equipment: ETAC Swedish Rehab Group How I can help: * Product & supplier sourcing * Manufacturing planning and logistics (project management from concept to delivery) * Packaging development * Price negotiation and product/vendor comparison * Quality inspection (on-site in Taiwan) * Real-time problem-solving with you and/or your manufacturer, as issues come up — not after they've become expensive Got a need that's not listed above but sits somewhere in this world? Send me a message — chances are I've dealt with it before. About me: * Bachelor of Industrial Design (Medical Equipment, Furniture, and Sport Equipment concentrations). * Fluent in English and Mandarin, and comfortable operating across cross-cultural business environments — which matters a lot when your factory is on one side of the world and you're on the other.
