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,

- 2 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

RUSH GT/Placid :: Michael Young from Michael David Young

RUSH GT/Placid :: Michael Young

This is a personal design that has been purchased by Rush Auto Works for future production. Look for a three seater and single seater version coming down the line after the SR1 and SR2 see production.

The chassis of this car is unique with dual crumple boxes and two roll bars front and back, providing adequate crash and roll protection with 70mm head clearance in an upside down scenario. Single front radiator cools a monster drive train in the rear, with RAW looking at high horse power options for a V8 and transaxle.

As a single seater this car offers many driver and aesthetic benefits. Much like the Mclaren F1, the center driver position allows for a very forward feeling cockpit, harkening to LMP aesthetics. Driver's feet are still behind the front axle for safety, but there is plenty of room on either side for ample suspension in the front.

Initial rough CAD model for me functions similar to clay modeling. I just keep it rough and quick to evaluate many different forms in 3D. Much like a three dimensional sketch
