Curt Bailey

President / Principal

Curt’s 3 favorite subjects in high school were Art, Auto Shop, and Debate.  His guidance counselor thought he would be great at haggling over the price of his paintings in front of a gas station.  Instead he chose a career in product development.  Since becoming president in 1992 he has helped guide Sundberg-Ferar in its transition from a traditional industrial design firm into a full-service product development company.  Curt has been responsible for corporate and project management, project definition, analysis and integration of consumer research results, concept generation and development, engineering and manufacturing coordination, vendor and customer liaison.  He speaks at numerous events on the process of product innovation and is named as primary inventor on dozens of U.S. patents.
Joined Sundberg-Ferar in 1983
Graduate of University of Illinois  (B.F.A. in Industrial Design)
