Practical engineering solutions for product development
I help individuals, inventors and businesses turn mechanical product ideas into practical engineering solutions.
With over 12 years of engineering experience, I can provide guidance throughout the product development process, from exploring an initial concept to refining a design, planning a prototype and preparing for manufacture.
My experience covers mechanical design, CAD, design reviews, material selection, manufacturing processes, design for manufacture and practical engineering problem-solving. Whether you are developing your first product, facing a technical challenge or looking for an experienced engineer to review your approach, I offer straightforward, practical advice tailored to your project.
Not sure where to start? Book a free 15-minute project exploration chat and we can discuss your idea, your challenges and how I may be able to help.
Services
Have a product idea, engineering challenge or project you are unsure how to progress? This free, 15-minute introductory chat is an opportunity to discuss your project, explain your goals and explore the challenges you face. Together, we can identify where engineering input could help and discuss practical next steps. There is no obligation to proceed with further work.
Turn your initial idea into a practical plan. We will discuss your product concept, define your objectives and explore potential engineering solutions, materials, functionality and constraints. This session is ideal for inventors, entrepreneurs and businesses looking for expert guidance on feasibility, development priorities and the next steps towards creating a new mechanical product.
Have an existing design, CAD model or engineering drawing reviewed by an experienced mechanical design engineer. We will discuss functionality, materials, assembly, tolerances and manufacturability, identifying potential issues and opportunities for improvement. Please provide relevant drawings or supporting information beforehand. This is an advisory review, not formal design verification or certification.
