NICE TO MEET YOU - I'M JOE
I am a product design consultant in Long Beach, California, specializing in providing entrepreneurs, inventors, and small businesses efficient and affordable solutions for all their design needs. I am experienced in conceptual design, product development, CAD, and product renderings. Mockups, prototypes, 3D printing, and limited manufacturing/vendor relations are other services I can provide.
I enjoy the opportunity to help inexperienced customers to understand the design and manufacturing process. It can be a complex journey of questions and compromises, but one which even a novice inventor can still navigate with the right information.
I founded my consulting practice in 2006, specializing in CAD and concept design. Since then I have helped dozens of clients to bring their ideas to life. My designs have been featured in online articles, corporate brochures, and tradeshows.
In addition to my consulting practice, I also teach product design at California State University, Long Beach. I instruct on advanced uses of design software, but also on how technology and machinery (such as 3D printing) is used for prototyping and manufacturing. I endeavor to be an ambassador of design to both my students and my clients.
Let me help you get that idea out of your head and onto paper where others can understand it.
