Some comments from clients and quotes from industry articles
It has been a privilege to collaborate with Dave on several projects at my company, TabTime. His comprehensive skill set covers the entire product design process—from initial ideation through to the creation of detailed drawings for manufacturers. What sets Dave apart is not just his ability to design exceptional products, but also his proactive engagement with manufacturers to refine and optimize designs. His efforts have not only elevated the quality of our products but have also resulted in a remarkable 8% reduction in fulfilment costs. Dave is the complete package as a product designer.
It's great to be able to collaborate with other businesses in Plus-X, and was a particular joy to work
with Dave of Cast-iron CAD
Cast-iron CAD is remarkable.... Agile, innovative, imaginative. Working with them is always an inspiring experience
Dave is priceless. You give a design problem to Dave, and he solves it, which is perfect for me because I have loads of ideas and Dave's great at putting them in perspective
