My name is Norm Ellison and I started Ellison Design/Build to help others develop their new product ideas and engineer improvements into existing products.

I have over 20 years of international design experience, developing and bringing to market many successful products. I can help you minimize your development and product costs, recognize and deal with areas of potential risk,  learn from prototyping, and most importantly, use a simple, proven and efficient development process to keep your project on track. I've put some of these notes together on my process page. 

I also have lots of experience improving a variety of existing products and can often do it while lowering product cost at the same time. Lastly, unlike a lot of freelance designers and engineers my experience has not only come from behind a CAD screen. I have conceptualized and sold the ideas for many of the products I have developed and I have a full model shop that I use for fabrication and testing. I have produced launch campaigns for new products and know how to support a product once it hits the market. Every step in the development process is important:

• Conceptualization
• Design/Development
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Market Introduction
• Product Planning
• Prototyping and Testing
• Supply Sourcing

Markets served (to date):

• Industrial Equipment
• Electronic Packaging
• Fitness Equipment
• Medical Equipment
• Comfort and Convenience Products
• Commercial Products
• Gadgets and Novelties
• Modern Architectural Elements
• Retail Design and Displays
