limited production :: hand crafted :: high performance :: rechargeable :: premium flashlights

This is my blog about creating a startup LED flashlight business. I'm a designer, fabricator, and strategist and I'm passionate about making ideas real. I believe that products are about people, that they should be built to last, deliver real value, and that we need to do a better job than we have in the recent past.

Most of my career has been contract or freelance work and I've crafted products and strategies for both big international companies and startups. I also used to work in the "industry" fabricating special effects for film and TV, along with the occasional hot rod. Bottom line, I love making things.

I'm starting this blog so you can follow along, from day one, and see what it's like to start a business, or fail in the process. Only time will tell, but I hope you find this interesting enough to stay tuned, comment, link, like, tweet, and (most importantly) participate in turning this idea into something tangible and valuable.

Check out my friend's Kickstarter project!

I provided some technical support on this one but Joe spent months getting the design tested and dialed in. I have one of the first prototypes and I can tell you it's awesome! I mainly use pocket knives for opening boxes and this one is small enough you don't have to "deal" with it, but the CUB is there when you need it. Check out the live project on Kickstarter...link is below. Don't wait though, this project is only live for 2 weeks total. 

Cheers,
Jason
