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 Auto Works SR1

Rush Auto Works SR1 from Michael David Young

Rush Auto Works SR1

Working with David Hosie of Rush Auto Works to design and produce bodywork for the new SR1. This is a very exciting car and with RAW's wealth of racing history and engineering experience I anticipate this will be a game changer. Its smaller than a normal car and packs a unique punch for people interested in racing without emptying their bank accounts. RAW had designed and built a driving version of the car with no bodywork and contacted me to create a design for bodywork as well as provide production ready data to send to their fiberglass supplier. Bodywork is currently in the final stages of refinement, and I am working with RAW's excellent engineering experience and advisement to create part breakup and fastening strategy for final parts. Stay tuned for a 30K purchase price!! Also watch a video, this car sounds amazing on the track.

I am also having fun running aero simulations and tests for this project too, a first time for me but it is going well.
