I'm Sean Simmons, an industrial design professional with over two decades of expertise in designing and leading New Product Design and Development initiatives from concept to commercialization. My approach to all design & development initiatives is found at the intersection of a Design Thinking methodology, a manufacturing expertise and an insatiable curiosity, which allows me to uncover opportunities for innovation and improvement in every client initiative. Whether addressing user experience, utility and functionality, engineering and manufacturing strategies, technology integration, or visual design and object language—my goal is always the same: deliver innovative, impactful, compelling and commercially viable solutions for any industry. I’ve built and led NPDD teams, driven DFMA and manufacturing strategies, navigated patents and licensing, and collaborated with brands like DeLonghi, Rubbermaid, Mr. Coffee, Becton Dickenson, Newell Brands, Burberry, Ralph Lauren Home, Singer, Lightolier, Genlyte, Gevalia, Melitta, Farberware, Skil, Ridgid, Sunbeam, Oster, Phillips, and many others. I’m passionate about turning insights into market-ready products that delight users and drive value. I bring an expert and clever level of manufacturing strategies to all projects that in many case histories is the springboard for product innovation, improvement and/or improved margins.…
