From Concept to Manufacturable MVP | Product Development for Founders
Most founders waste months and serious budget on product designs that can't be manufactured, fail to excite investors, or have to be rebuilt from scratch. I stop that from happening. I've helped launch 6 products at Flare Audio (4.8โ average ratings across new developments) and supported the AirBreak launch at PuttOUT Golf, an award-winning, 5โ rated product that opened an entirely new market category. I bring that same strategic, production-focused thinking to startups, SMEs, and solo founders. What I Do I take physical products from rough idea to investor-ready, manufacturable reality. Not just pretty renders, but designs that can actually be built, sourced, and scaled. My services include: - Product strategy & concept development, so you build the right thing before you build the thing - Rapid concept generation & visual direction, with investor-ready visuals that communicate product value fast - 3D CAD modelling, with production-ready files your manufacturers can work with immediately - DFM review, so your design doesn't get rejected at the factory - MVP-focused development, scoped for early-stage timelines and funding milestones - Supplier-ready documentation & handoff packs, so you can source manufacturers on day one Why Founders Choose Me - I've brought real products to market at scale, not just portfolio pieces, with experience from award-winning launches at Flare Audio and PuttOUT Golf - I think like a strategist and deliver like an engineer, so you get the right product and one that can actually be made - My designs survive contact with a factory, so there are no costly rebuilds after handoff - I move at startup speed, scoped around your funding milestones and launch dates - One point of contact from napkin sketch to supplier-ready files My Process 1๏ธโฃ Discovery & alignment: define product goals, user needs, constraints, and manufacturing considerations 2๏ธโฃ Concept development & CAD: rapid ideation, concept refinement, and production-ready 3D CAD 3๏ธโฃ Refinement & delivery: iterate into a final, manufacturable design with technical drawings and full handoff support Let's Work Together If you're building a physical product and need a designer who thinks like a strategist and delivers like an engineer, let's talk.
