This is our first entry to what we hope will be an insightful and interesting peak into what we do, what we like and what we’re talking about here at ModProducts. By we, I am referring to myself, Brett Teper, my business partner, Rich Williams and our small team here in our downtown NYC design studio.

We began our product design adventure two years ago with our first product, the ModKat Litter Box. It was an interesting, exciting and sometimes excruciating ride! The process of designing, developing, manufacturing and eventually selling ModKat brought us to many new places, introduced us to many new people and whether we liked it or not filled our minds with many new things. Over the past year since the launch of ModKat we have been repeatedly asked how we made it all happen, everyone we speak to seems to have an idea for a new product but has no idea what it takes to get one to market, much like us two years ago. When we first began working on ModKat we always asked ourselves “why doesn’t everyone do this?”, that has now changed to, “how does anyone do this?”

We plan to share some of our past and future experiences in the business of design, manufacturing, travel, inspiration and whatever else we think might make an interesting or fun read. We hope you enjoy!

Thanks for reading!

Cheers,
Brett & Rich
