Good afternoon, everyone! Are you ready to meet Don? Drumroll, please…
Ahem!
Flying Pig Designs has an incredible team of designers and engineers – and what’s a great team without a project manager? That’s where Don comes in! With years of management and product design experience, he’s one of the newest and greatest additions to the crew. Are you on the edge of your seat with excitement? Say no more. We’ll let Don Davidshofer hog the spotlight!
Meet Don
Name: Don Davidshofer
Job title: Project Manager
Hometown: Dubuque, Iowa
College/University: “I am always learning. While my formal training is Product Design, I believe curiosity, combined with acceptance of making mistakes, is the best education one can have. Oh, I have made lots of mistakes, but I also have quite a few successes!” – Don
Area(s) of Expertise: Solving for customer needs, plastic part design
Hobbies: Fly fishing, beer brewing, knife making, fly tying, genealogy, restoring machine tools, asking questions and following my nose.
Pets: “Barli. At a svelte 60 hound-pounds, Barli is a dog with lots of personality. As my first dog, I was commissioned to name her, but the stipulation was that her name HAD to be beer related. Barli (a barley-colored Goldendoodle) is the perfect first dog. I also have a cat named Peanut. She isn’t very svelte, but we won’t tell HER that.” -Don
Favorite food: Tacos – I was reacquainted with Torchy’s Tacos here in Boulder two nights ago!
Favorite aspect of your job: The challenge of taking a problem and turning it into an opportunity that goes into production. Working with cool and creative people!
Coolest invention/project you have worked on: “The fun projects are always those where you ‘discover’ features or functions that were not intended or anticipated. I worked on a cost-down vacuum cleaner project that we discovered we could improve performance, make the dust containment area larger, enhance user functions, reduce noise, improve quality — AND we reduced costs by 25%.” – Don
Fun Fact(s): “After three years of research, I am anxiously awaiting my first published book. A fictional story, based on facts, the book is about my family in the 1940’s.
My sister Mary runs a pig farm in Iowa. She was super excited to hear I was joining Flying Pig Designs!” – Don
Curtain Closing: Final Remarks
