I have an idea for a consumer electronics appliance. It's not a new product but a combination of a 2. The process seems to be

1. Draw up idea and features
2. Get someone to draw the plans or 3D Drawings
3. Get someone to create a working protoyype

I went to manufacturers on Alibaba to see if they would modify their product to fit my needs. No one was willing to do this. So, I went to Odesk and Elance with my sketch to see if someone could do the drawings and get me a working prototype from that sketch, that has been unsuccessful too. Either they only do the drawings and not prototype, or their English/portfolio isn't up to par.

I think I am going to have to hire 2 people, one for the plans/drawings, the other for the prototype. I wanted to have one person to do these so there wouldn't be a bunch of back and forth on revisions and etc.

Any one have any experience with this?
