Jennifer Herron Bio

Jennifer Herron turns cocktail-napkin ideas into visual model-based designs. Her consulting firm, Action Engineering, helps companies bring their hardware ideas to life. With over 14 years of experience, she has proven her ability to develop workable designs, plans, standards and processes, while also training teams to adopt and maintain model-based design systems.

While her focus is on model-centric design, her firm also offers mechanical engineering services for more traditional needs such as conceptual and detailed designs of structures, mechanisms, electronic enclosures, and interface specifications and requirements.

As an experienced designer, she also offers concise and simple technical writing for proposals or hardware system descriptions.
