Hello, I've helped many companies and folks like yourself in bringing their ideas into life. Working with their concept, being able to see it and modify for manufacturing. Material choices, finishes, assembly, packaging, etc. I have been in this industry for over 35 years. I currently work with shops for both prototype and for production. These shops are located here in the USA and in China. I travel to China 4 times a year to evaluate these and new companies. This ensures the product quality does not drop.

I am a freelance journalist, in the midst of completing a BMA majoring in journalism. I am 22 years old and when it comes to grammar, punctuation and structure I have a keen eye. I have always had an affinity for language, grammar, punctuation and syntax and have submitted articles to local publications in my region of New Zealand. To put it mildly, I love to write, live to write. It enables me to meet people from all walks of life and creating news articles, reviews, feature writing and copy is something I find rewarding and empowering. http://www.suite101.com/profile.cfm/lkissick
