Connecting Art to Part

Michael Aprea, founder and President of Sakonnet DesignWorks, Inc., is an engineer, entrepreneur, inventor, and product developer with direct experience developing aesthetically-refined products from early concept to full production for the consumer, medical, accessory and high-tech industries.

Developing products is costly. The right product development company can make all the difference. At Sakonnet DesignWorks our goal is to get your product ready for manufacture at a reasonable cost, and fast -- without interrupting your daily life! We do this by providing flexible engineering & CAD support for your new products. We are respected in the industry because we have been commercializing new products since 2000 for Fortune 1000 companies, mid size manufacturers and Start-ups. We have a soft-spot for inventors and work with many each year!

One example is a client we work with on advanced medical devices. Without adding staff our client can review and implement many more requests for quotes because of our capabilities. We interact with their customers in a highly collaborative nature managing projects from concept to pre-production. It is nice to know that there growth is in part because of our efforts!
