Consumer Products · Client: The BabyToon
Developed a soft silicone baby spoon from a third-grade science project concept into a commercialized, mass-produced product. The product was featured on Shark Tank (Season 11), secured a deal, and was eventually licensed to Munchkin.
Industrial · Client: Sheraton Hotels
Designed and developed a custom high-temperature and oil-resistant rubber cover plug solution for existing electronic door lock installations in a major hotel chain.
Medical Devices · Client: IllumeRx
Developed an integrative eyewear platform during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a sealed goggle with specialized filter and accessory options to establish a new standard of protection against infectious diseases.
Research Facilities
Engineered a minimally invasive biopsy dart capable of collecting 1.5 cubic centimeters of biological tissue samples from marine species. The device can be mounted on standard M8 threaded poles, harpoons, spears, or arrows.
