Glad you made it here!
I figure I should start this off by mentioning the background and purpose of this blog…
One of the things I enjoy most is solving problems, finding and easing the pain points in everyday life, untying the knots, or solving the Rubik’s cube (even if that means rearranging the stickers).
Second to that, I love learning interesting ways other people solve problems. There’s a lot of humility to be learned. Everyone looks at a problem from a different angle incorporating their own life’s experiences.
Through curiosity and creativity, Sound Shore Innovation finds solutions, innovates with purpose, and cultivates partnerships that last. Our research-based approach to development and design helps us invent impactful products and services that change lives.
Though this lifelong quest for problem-solving didn’t start with Sound Shore… This somehow was built into my DNA. I can distinctly remember scraping the grout out of my grandmother’s countertop as a kid devising my first invention to make the job easier. I hastily drew it up and placed my masterpiece in my family’s safe where it sat long after I left for college. By that time my notebook of what I thought were excellent ideas grew to have no idea what to do with them.
My passion for identifying pain points with the goal of solving problems lead me towards studying Entrepreneurial Business, work restoring classic cars, training for sport (triathlon, Jiu-Jitsu, personal training), and the rescue disciplines within the Fire Department.
Out of this mash-up of things of which I’m still heavily involved in, and armed with a notebook full of concepts Sound Shore Innovations came to life. The paint point blog will provide insight into our process, the things that make us excited, and what it’s like working with a welder in one hand and pitch deck in the other.
Hop onboard it’s Shore to be a good time.
