Building the companies and technologies that put light where it's never been before. From electroluminescent wire to wearable illumination, I turn unconventional ideas into commercial realities.
I've spent my career at an intersection most people don't even know exists: where electroluminescent chemistry meets consumer product design, where wearable technology meets fashion, and where a niche material can become a platform business.
I founded Ellumiglow to bring EL wire and LED technology to costumers, architects, and makers worldwide. I've since built a portfolio of adjacent ventures spanning illuminated apparel, van conversion systems, and digital operations.
My edge is the full-stack ability to go from CAD model to Chinese manufacturer to live e-commerce in less time than most teams spec a product.
From identifying an unmet market need to designing the physical product, iterating prototypes, and landing final tooling with overseas manufacturers.
I build companies around technologies, not the other way around. Each venture is architected to own its category and scale with lean operations.
Custom formulations in EL materials, flexible LED systems, sewable conductive thread. I advance the underlying technology, not just the product on top of it.
Full e-commerce infrastructure, international supply chains across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., and a growing digital marketing capability built in-house.
Each venture represents a distinct technology platform, not just a product line.
The leading direct-to-consumer source for EL wire, LED tape, and specialty lighting technology. Built from a single product category into a multi-line platform serving costume makers, architects, commercial specifiers, and entertainment professionals worldwide.
Developed proprietary product lines including VynEL flexible EL technology, Pixel-Free LED 360, Laser Wire, and Wavelux Catering Light — each solving a specific gap in the professional lighting market.
Illuminated apparel at the intersection of wearable technology and fashion. P13 Designs takes the material science developed for Ellumiglow's product lines and applies it to garment construction, creating clothing that reacts, glows, and performs.
Individual technology advances that each opened new market categories. These aren't iterations on existing products — they're materials and systems that didn't exist before.
Not a list of buzzwords. The specific technical and operational skills that make these ventures work.
If you're an investor, potential partner, or someone building something interesting in the lighting, wearable tech, or product innovation space — I want to hear from you.
