This week EngineerVsDesigner sat down with the young founder of a new tool company that has redesigned the traditional shovel as we know it, Mr. Stephen Walden! We’ll talk to Stephen about how he got the idea for his product, how he developed it as a non-designer/engineer, and how he is going about leading his crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Rock.

We’ll be discussing:

  • Who are you Stephen and what is Bosse Tools?
  • What is the Ergonnomic Shovel?
  • How did you develop the product from sketch to final prototype?
  • What advice might you have for a young entrepreneur with a great product design idea?
  • …and more!
