Experience summary:
Inventing and building toys and toy mechanisms in Hasbro's R&D department gave Paul a good understanding of the early design process, as well as an appreciation for the work of Industrial Desingers. At BuddyL he was involved in all aspects of product development, performing both administrative and engineering duties such as project tracking, cost package preparation, breadboard development, engineering, prototyping, debugging, and product testing. He also traveled to China to oversee production starts, and performed creative work and on set suppport for TV commercials.

At BuddyL Paul implemented Pro/ENGINEER and pioneered a streamlined high tech product development process which blurred the boundaries between design, engineering and manufacturing. His broad experience in product development, combined with parametric solid modeling and rapid prototyping technologies, allowed Paul to create new products with previously unthinkable speed and attention to detail.

Taking the lessons he learned, Paul founded this company in 1995, and has been providing his unique brand of "Creative Engineering" ever since.
