Through successful networking I began a job at one of the country’s leading product development consulting companies. Working at this company left an indelible impression; I contributed to the design of a large number of products within a relatively short period of time and learned a tremendous amount about designing products for manufacturing. Since then, I have worked as a consultant on several projects. </td> <td valign="top" colspan="2"> <img src="http://ideasonlegs.smugmug.com/photos/419794341_cjW9P-L.jpg", border="0"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> I am experienced as an eco-conscious studio artist, teacher, research engineer, and designer, and bring these skills as additional assets to my offerings as a product development consultant. I love combining my interpersonal, creative, and analytical abilities to provide the most helpful advice and strategy for your project. </td> <td valign="top" colspan="2"> <img src="http://ideasonlegs.smugmug.com/photos/419794345_U6vA3-L.jpg", border="0"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> While most of my work is artistic and design oriented, I have a steadfast curiosity about how things work from a scientific and technical perspective. For example, as I create designs in recycled glass, I keep a watchful eye toward new ways to use this material. How can the shapes of the bottles become a unique benefit toward a new product or application? In addition to my studio work, I recently led a small team of university students through an investigation of biodegradable packaging for medical and pharmaceutical products. In engineering graduate school, I performed biomechanical research on joints and muscles. I remain attracted to the complexity and excitement surrounding the inner workings of the human body and the details of basic scientific research. I always continue to delve deeper to find seemingly subtle, but substantial, intersections in the curiosities of glass, packaging, design, and biology. </td> <td valign="top colspan="2"> <img src="http://ideasonlegs.smugmug.com/photos/419794351_MbVUy-L.jpg", border="0"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> With my broad perspective, I provide helpful suggestions and insights on a variety of projects. <br><br><a href="mailto:billh@ideasonlegs.com">Contact me</a> with questions about your product, to learn about availability, and rate information. <br><br> <a href="http://www.sleepingbean.com/ideasonlegs/ConsResearch.pdf", target="_new">Download Bill’s Research and Consulting Bio </a> <div align="center"><img src="http://ideasonlegs.smugmug.com/photos/433654377_pZhKk-L.jpg", border="0"></div> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="1028001"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt=""> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
