Daniel Kim

I am an industrial designer seeking to build my career/business by partnering and collaborating with other designers/firms to create innovative and never-before seen designs and products. My experience as a toy inventor and entrepreneur has helped me to build a business that not only provides creative, aesthetically pleasing, and well thought out designs, but also provide a new design perspective in regards to marketing, sales, and manufacturing methods. I've been blessed to have some of my designs and inventions win nominations for Toy of The Year presented by the Toy Industry Association such as Rocky the Robot Truck, Chuggington Diecast Railway, and Dino Construction Company.

My specialty is helping in the design and manufacturing of toys. I provide detailed engineering drawings and spec sheets and help my clients to hit their margins and maximize the level of design and aesthetics without forsaking the bottom line. I've helped companies such as Educational Insights to launch their products forward into the toy market from the educational product market. I have long-standing relationships with my clients and value the relationship I have with my client as my reputation in the industry has shown.

I love working with smaller companies that want to strive to make a stronger market presence with cutting edge designs. As a consulting designer with 20 years of professional experience and expertise, I offer services ranging from initial concept development, styling and aesthetics, engineering, 3D CAD and rapid prototyping. I also offer my clientele consulting in manufacturing processes and resources. If you are a interested in working together to leap forward into a higher level of design and product development, please do not hesitate to contact me.
