Our Story

At BP Nel Consulting, we root our journey in passion, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in industrial design for manufacture. 

For 29 years, I have worked on the factory floor, solving real-world manufacturing challenges and learning what it takes to create designs that thrive in production rather than just look good on paper. This hands-on experience has shaped my expertise and reinforced my belief in the true value of design. H

However, my path has not always been easy. Early in my career, a “friend” told me, “Design has no value.” Those words stung as I struggled through the first 15-18 years of my business. There were months when I barely scraped by, and one incident stands out vividly.  A company I worked tirelessly for decided on December 15th that they no longer needed my services. They withheld my last payment, leaving me unable to fly my son to spend Christmas with me. Yet, by January 8th, they called for my help again. That moment became a turning point. It taught me to choose clients carefully and only work with those who value and respect my experience. It also taught me to stand up for my worth and never allow anyone to misuse my expertise again. 

Industrial design isn’t just my career; it embodies my heart and soul. It has been my passion since before school, and every project I undertake reflects that dedication. Over nearly three decades, I have learned to deliver designs that not only meet your vision but are also optimized for efficient, cost-effective manufacturing.When you partner with BP Nel Consulting, you gain a collaborator who understands the challenges of bringing ideas to life and is deeply committed to your success.Let’s create something extraordinary together!
