Meet Lesia Farmer
I've experienced the invention journey from nearly every angle—from licensing and manufacturing to bringing a product to market, appearing on national television, and ultimately selling my intellectual property.
Along the way, I've helped hundreds of inventors better understand the process, avoid costly mistakes, and make more informed decisions about their ideas.
I created Inventing Wise because inventors deserve honest, practical guidance from someone who has actually walked this road.
From Idea to Exit: My Invention Journey
What began as a simple solution to an everyday problem became the Trap Door Colander—and a journey through nearly every side of the invention industry.
I went from licensing my invention to one of the largest housewares manufacturers in the U.S., to manufacturing and marketing it myself, and eventually pitching it live on national television.
Years later, I completed the journey by selling the intellectual property—seven years before the patent protection was set to expire.
Every step taught me something I now use to help other inventors make wiser decisions about their own ideas.
Why I Created Inventing Wise
I've seen too many inventors spend thousands of dollars chasing promises that never produced meaningful results. I've also seen great ideas get lost simply because people didn't know where to turn or what questions to ask.
After helping hundreds of inventors navigate those early decisions, I created Inventing Wise to offer something different: honest, practical guidance based on real-world experience—not hype.
My goal is simple: help you understand your options so you can make wise decisions about your idea, your money, and your next move.
Honest Guidance
No hype or unrealistic promises.
Real Experience
Lessons learned by actually doing it.
Smarter Decisions
Helping inventors protect their ideas and their money.
