Background

About Jake van Wagoner

As a natural problem solver, I thrive in providing creative and unique solutions to both clients and companies. I am a product professional with a demonstrated design and development history of creating savvy, useful products in the biomedical, manufacturing, and outdoor industries. If you’re jumping off a cliff and trying to build a plane, I’m your guy. Measurably improving people’s lives is what makes me tick. I’m convinced that the design process can be utilized in any industry. If the challenge is complex in detail and wide in scope, and you need someone to get lost in the weeds, in the clouds, or both, let’s get to work. I am personable, self-driven, and creative. I build team members, products, and memories. I enjoy being outdoors, cooking, and making people laugh. I believe that good food and music are a universal language. I am confident in managing client expectations through my experience in timeline management, product lifecycle management, and team collaboration. Additionally, I bring the ability and knowledge of how to implement different manufacturing disciplines, client & patient ethical best practices, and rapid prototyping abilities required to carry a design through the FDA 510k process. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
