Industrial Designer with a focus on manufacturing and real world marketing. Global distribution of proprietary products allows us to funnel new products into our existing markets. Specialties: Materials, manufacturing processes, brand identity & marketing.
After 35 years of designing products and actually manufacturing them and doing all of the heavy lifting, I have finally decided to re-brand myself. A podcast is in the works to showcase a lifetime of not only successes but failures as well while continuing to design new products and launch products into an established distribution channel. When people would ask what "Mike" was up to, the answer was often "oh he's doing Miketivities", or he just "Miked his tractor the other day"...so this led to the new brand of JustMikeIt for which a website is currently being built at JustMikeIt.com ...stay tuned.
Formed L'il Sucker Products in response to the success of our patented L'il Sucker suction cup drink holder.
Like a recent Fedex ad claimed...why do one thing when you can be good at many...especially when there is a synergy between the two ventures. Having had an interest in graphics and advertising for years, we have finally jumped into the large format digital printing arena. Anybody can buy a printer, but when it comes to things like wrapping a car or truck from bumper to bumper, it's the graphic message that stands out and makes an instant impression...which is what we do well.
Started this company designing products for Law Enforcement which turned into a distribution company for other related products. Focus shifted when the L'il Sucker product (www.lilsucker.com) was developed by accident, originally intended as a tool for Law Enforcement and security personnel.
