You have a product to make, or a business to untangle.
I work with the people behind physical products, from someone with an idea and no idea where to start, to a founder whose business is selling but has outgrown the way it's run.
How I can help
Product development & sourcing
You have a product or an idea, and no clear route to making it. Maybe it's a new range for an existing business. Maybe it's a single custom piece and you don't know where to begin. I develop it from idea to production-ready, source who makes it, and see it through to delivery.
You're already selling, but the way the business runs hasn't kept up. Maybe everything still waits on you. Maybe orders, stock or suppliers have outgrown the spreadsheet holding them together. I find where time and money leak, work out what to fix first, and help you rebuild the day-to-day so it runs without you in every decision.

How I work
Ongoing Fractional
You need senior product and operations experience inside the business, without the full-time hire.
I join your team two or three days a week, running development, production and suppliers, and building the processes that keep them running on the days I'm not there.
Project-Based Consulting
A defined brief with a finish line: a range developed and delivered, a diagnostic in your hands, a supplier found and signed off.
We agree the scope, I do the work, you take it from there.
Monthly Advisory
You're making the decisions yourself, and want someone experienced to make them with.
A fixed monthly session to work through pricing, production, suppliers or planning, with email support in between.
Want to work together?
If any of this sounds like your business, tell me what you're working on. There's no need for a tidy brief; a few lines about where things stand is plenty.
I'll reply with how I'd approach it, what it would involve, and what it would cost.
