40+ Years of Experience Creating Products That Have Sold Billions.
If you need help bringing your product to life or elevating an existing consumer product in flavor, texture, mouthfeel or function, I can help. I’ve developed award-winning products for clients like Whole Foods, Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, and Target, and for innovative up-starts like IQBar and Puffworks.
An amazing product helps you differentiate from your competition and helps you gain loyalty repeat customers. I’ll help you create extraordinary products and build your brand.
Looking to enter a new category or start a new brand? I can help flush out your concept in terms of form, flavor, function and the cost of goods. Work with many suppliers to fit your brand’s needs.
Once a base formula is created, I can help you create initial taste samples for testing. Also, I can assist with packaging development and sourcing. If needed, consumer research and sensory testing.
Identify qualified co-packers to make your product, manage manufacturing process development and equipment selection. Lead plant trials, develop and implement Manufacturing Control Plans and train production employees.
Oversee full-size production runs, process validations and package, stability, and shelf-life testing. Develop highly efficient and cost- effective ingredient and packaging supply chains. Troubleshoot manufacturing- product, process, package, and quality problems.
