Earlier this year SPARK was introduced to ACEO 3D at the National Plastics Expo. We recently used ACEO's 3D-printed silicone technology to get a client a true silicone prototype, allowing them to quickly and inexpensively test SPARK's design before ordering production tooling. Learn more about this interesting new technology here.

Kaity Myers did not come to SPARK through a typical product development path.


Her background includes dance, yoga, teaching, operations, entrepreneurship, and relationship-building. But the more you hear her talk about her work, the more that path makes sense. The common thread has always been there: curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and a genuine interest in helping ideas move from possibility to action.

The name is lighthearted, but the work matters.
