I was brought in, as a Marketing and Design Consultant, by Creatinc's President Vikram Swaminadhan at the concept stage.

Mrocket: A new use for old hockey sticks - Mrocket brings new life to old hockey sticks in only three steps: 1) the sticks are cut to the desired heights (All four sticks used for the base must be cut to the same height, in order to ensure stability. The height of the four used as hooks can differ.), 2) a single 1/4 of an inch hole is drilled into each stick, and 3) the sticks are clipped into the Mrocket holders. By using the Mrocket, eight sticks are transformed into a hockey-themed coat stand. http://www.metacycle.ca/lab/explore
