About

Hello! I am a freelance product designer and I would love to help out your team.

- 9 years experience consulting for companies like: DirtDevil and Hoover Vacuums, Fischer Price, Power Wheels, and many others.

- 7 years working as part of a team at a consulting firm,

- 4 years+ working as a private consultant with 20+ clients: two of the largest tool and home improvement brands in the US, Razor Scooters USA, Airhogs, Jim Glickenhaus at SCG, Rush Auto Works, Pro-Models RC, Modari toys, FastForward Composites.

- Experience with individual inventors: helping to visualize their ideas, create compelling marketing images, and provide data ready to communicate to manufacturers for quotes.

I can start with sketching concepts, CAD model designs to accurate dimensions, create realistic environmental renderings, create 3D printed and machined prototypes, and go all the way to providing quality data for engineers and manufacturing resources.

Depending on your selected manufacturing resource, there may be a need to have an engineer create 2D drawings and look over final details. I have a number of engineers that I work closely with and I can bring them in to your project if needed or have them provide quotes.

Thanks for your time,

Michael

Eagle Class 53 renderings

Eagle Class 53 renderings from Michael David Young

Eagle Class 53 renderings

This is a boat designed, engineered and currently nearly completely fabricated by Fast Forward Composites. So cool! www.fastforwardcomposites.com
They asked me to run a set of photo realistic renderings for a boat show they were creating a display for. I added a lot of the details, ropes, pillows, books, sail details, flowers etc to their existing CAD to make it more realistic. Who wants a ride (me!)
