You don't need it all
figured out.
01
Define the idea
We start with the problem, who the product is for, and what it needs to do. Together, we identify the features worth exploring and the questions a prototype should answer.
02
Make it tangible
I develop the form in CAD and use 3D printing to bring it into the real world. A physical prototype makes size, fit, handling, and function easier to evaluate.
03
Test, adjust, repeat
We review what works, identify what needs changing, and refine the design. Each round has a purpose, whether that’s improving a fit, simplifying a part, or making it easier to use.
04
Plan what's next
Once the direction is clearer, I help you consider production options and what the product needs around it, from packaging to a website and launch materials.
You might have a sketch, an early prototype, or a product that almost works. I help turn what you have into something you can hold, test, and improve.
BUILT THROUGH EXPERIENCE
I've taken my own idea
through the same process.
BudBud began with a small problem and
a 3D-printed prototype. I developed the
product, built the brand, created the
online store, and continue to handle its
design and marketing.
As the business grew, production expanded
from 3D printing to outsourced injection
molding for the BudBud tools. Building the
business has kept my design work connected
to how products are made, presented, and
sold.
BEYOND THE PROTOTYPE
Build the product
and the business around it
A working prototype is a milestone. I can also help you explain the product, give it
an identity, and create the materials and online experience you need to bring it to
market.
01 / BRAND & PACKAGING
Give it an identity.
A visual identity, packaging, and
product graphics that work together
and make the product recognizable.
02 / ECOMMERCE & CONTENT
Make it easy to understand.
A website, product photography, and
clear product content that show
what it does and help customers
decide if it’s right for them.
03 / MARKETING & SALES
Support the next stage.
Campaign creative, email, social
content, and wholesale materials to
support launch and continued
growth.
