Contributed to the design and development of the Child Crisis Manikin, an advanced pediatric training product created to support realistic medical procedure practice and emergency care education.

As part of the product development team, I was responsible for designing, engineering, and sculpting several key anatomical and functional components. My work included the venous arm, chest skin with defibrillation load box and EKG attachments, chest compression plate, lungs, stomach, and detailed internal airway anatomy, including the mouth, tongue, oral pharynx, epiglottis, arytenoids, vocal cords, trachea, and esophagus.

To ensure clinical accuracy, I worked with doctors at the University of Wisconsin to verify the internal anatomy required for medical procedures such as intubation. This collaboration helped ensure the manikin provided a realistic training experience for healthcare professionals and students.

My role extended from concept through production. I created prototypes, molding patterns, molds, production-line procedures, and assembly instructions for the components I developed. This ensured the design could be translated into consistent, manufacturable parts while maintaining the anatomical detail and performance required for medical training.

I also supported the product launch by working with the sales team at medical trade shows and with larger clients, helping train sales representatives on how to properly demonstrate the product to medical staff. The result was a highly realistic pediatric training manikin that combined anatomical accuracy, hands-on procedure capability, and practical manufacturability.
