A former corporate and intellectual property lawyer, I’ve spent the past 25 years guiding innovation through strategic product design. My background offers a unique understanding of the business side of creativity... From toys to complex medical devices, I've helped hundreds of clients bridge the gap between creative insight and commercial success.
The focus of my work includes the design of compelling aesthetic solutions and brands, as well as the invention of novel features, functionality, and business models which allow clients to capitalize on profitable opportunities in the marketplace. And though I’m no longer an attorney, I advise on all aspects of the protection and monetization of intellectual property, from patents and trademarks to negotiating royalty and licensing agreements, and serve as design expert witness in disputes involving design patent infringement, trade dress and associated intellectual property matters.
