At Firehead Pet Products, I design grooming tools that make a professional groomer’s job easier—day in, day out.

My wife became a groomer years ago, and it didn’t take long for us to notice a pattern: some products on the market don’t work, don’t work well, or simply don’t last.

I’ve been designing products for a long time, so I put that experience to work. Like everything I build, I start with what isn’t working, figure out how to improve it, then test, tweak, and test again until it’s right.

My goals are straightforward: make tools that do exactly what they’re meant to do, hold up to real shop use, and remove the hassle. When I meet those goals, I know I’ve earned a place in her salon.

And that’s how the PAWDS™ system began.
