Hi, I’m Dan.
I’m a mechanical engineer and creative specializing in product development. I help entrepreneurs transform product ideas into functional prototypes and manufacturable products.
About Me:
Mead Product Design was founded in 2023, building on my experience as a mechanical engineer since 2014. Since then, I’ve worked with startups, inventors, and research labs to bring new ideas to life. I have a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Florida (2024) and my Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech (2014). Over my career I’ve worked for both large corporations and small design firms, gaining experience designing and manufacturing a wide range of products.
What sets my approach apart is a strong creative background alongside engineering. Outside of engineering, I’m a drummer in the band BadCameo, and that creative mindset carries into my work through concept development, problem solving, and product styling.
Areas of Expertise:
Mechanical product design · CAD development (SolidWorks) · mechanism design · concept sketching · electro-mechanical systems · prototype creation · design for manufacturing · industrial design styling · 3D printing · innovation
