Cardboard Helicopter Product Development In Lakewood Thinks All The Way Outside The Box

Bringing hip innovation to Ohio suburbia Tim Hayes, CEO and Founder of Cardboard Helicopter Product Development is determined to bring quirky cool to sleepy middle America. 

Based in the city of Lakewood Hayes' product development and industrial design firm is breaking new ground with imaginative products and a trendy two floor warehouse to create them in. 

By visualizing, developing and refining concepts for products not yet in the marketplace, the firm assists creators in enhancing their abstract or general ideas. Bringing affordability to armchair inventors, the local think tank also formulates renderings and prototypes to become a basic one-stop-shop for the birth of great ideas. Careful not to leave themselves out of the loop, Cardboard Helicopter also develops their own product ideas for the masses.

The inventor of the wildly successful Metal Sliders product seen on Quirky.com, Hayes said of his company’s official launch and new location, “We have everything from 3D printers to state-of-the-art sketching monitors and an incredibly creative team to man them.”

Careful not to leave out what truly makes a design team tick, he has also incorporated a great common area for video games, ping pong tables and a meditation room. “It’s a pretty great way to recharge imaginative brains,” said Hayes.
