About

I am a developmental designer specializing in finding innovation in everyday life. I am comfortable in the boardroom, at a desk, or in the shop.

I have the knowledge needed to help bring products from concept to reality. I have a solid understanding of manufacturing techniques and technology. Excellent mechanical ability and comprehension. I can improve whatever project is placed before me with my enthusiasm and experience. I am an information junkie who can get inside a user's head to better understand their experiences and it helps me be a more effective designer. I am passionate about everything I work on. A better process makes a better product.

Specialties

Ideation and brainstorming skills, running a successful Kickstarter campaign, modelmaking, concept sketching and form refinement, high amounts of energy and creativity.

  I was responsible for production ready design for custom machined parts and assemblies. These included one-off solutions and full production parts. I handled all new product development and market research for over 25 in-house projects, including our multiple (5) successful Kickstarter projects. Every house branded product began and ended with my input and design. I designed all packaging and brand related graphics for our products, promotional items and marketing materials. I provided on-demand design services and sketching for customers to help flesh out basic ideas and needs in order to make production ready parts. I was responsible for sourcing parts and for establishing procedures for production, assembly and shipping. Early on I was tasked with all customer service, marketing, and sales, before training others to take over as we grew. There was little to nothing associated with any house branded products that I was not directly involved with. Everything from hot rod parts to writing implements crossed my path, and I loved all of it. I worked with Solidworks, Fusion 360, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office.

Vitals Monitoring System

Vitals Monitoring System from Dan Bishop

Vitals Monitoring System

VITAL Monitoring System - This project was designed to help medical personnel by allowing them to remotely monitor the vital signs of the patients under their care.

The Vitals Monitoring system was designed with forward thinking technology in 2007. These watch-like devices featured e-ink displays, embedded sensors for measuring information like skin temperature and pulse. This was about 8 years before the first smart watch would appear on the market, and was completed right as the Fitbit first appeared publicly.

3D printed, full scale model.

Early modular system worn on a single hand, with all sensors connected and acting like a "glove".

Early concept sketch for the overall concept. The final idea was considerably more compact and sleek.
