Sheila Herminghuysen

Designer in New Bern, North Carolina

I am a designer

And more importantly, I am a businesswoman.

I am a firm believer that designers are problem solvers, and that innovation is a requirement of any good design, not just a buzz word.

I follow trends, and forecast opportunities.

I am a voracious researcher (books and blogs), world traveler (business and pleasure), passionate artist (digital and old school) and dedicated recycler (reuse or recreate)

After many years as an designer, working with world class retailers and renowned licensees, I decided to start my own consulting business specializing in trend forecasting and product development.

My entire career (life) I have always been fascinated with colors, textures, materials and finishes. Over the years I have developed strategies that help clients choose visual components for their products that will be successful in the consumer market. My goal is to help develop high quality products that bring enjoyment to peoples lives and make the most dollars for my clients.
