ABOUT ME
I am an inventor and entrepreneur bringing a unique informed perspective with over twelve years of experience in consumer product development, licensing, wholesale marketing and retailing.
My patented Trap Door Colander was licensed in 2011 to Lifetime Brands under the Farberware name. In 2021 it was also featured on America's Big Deal. This is an invention show that aired on USA Network hosted by Joy Mangano and Scott Evans.
I am passionate about counseling inventors and providing strategic advice on product development and licensing. I also provide sessions to new inventors who need some direction, vendor recommendations or are experiencing challenges when my schedule allows. In 2018 I was invited to assume the role of Head of Inventor Relations for Digital Law Group. This company is one of the leading intellectual property law firms for inventors. www.digitallawgroup.com
My product has been in Wal-Mart, Bed Bath & Beyond, QVC and many other retail stores.
I am a proud mom from Texas who had multiple incidents with hot pasta noodles and more in the kitchen. I solved a long-awaited problem with my invention. It landed me in a licensing deal. This was just the beginning. Necessity is the birth of invention and some like me when faced with such situations have a true passion to make a difference. Save others from the bad experience...that's who I am. Sometimes that bad experience can be your journey into the world of inventing, licensing, manufacturing or patents. If I can't help personally, I've made trusted connections that can.
Don't be fooled by my southern accent or open-hearted personality. I am a no nonsense tell it as it is type. That being said I'm honest, and I will not lead you on if I believe your idea is not unique or marketable. Sometimes the expense of manufacturing overrides the value of an idea. Do you want to work with someone who wants to take your money and tell you what you want to hear, that your idea is the next big thing? That is not my business model. My approach is simple and forthright. Contact me and we will discuss it further.
