When the answer to her problem didn't exist, she invented the solution: Michele Mccrea
Episode description
In todays episode, Michele Talks about how she designed, patented, and manufactured a childproof vent cover that is now currently available online. A few years ago, when Michele's daughter was just two years old, like most toddlers, she discovered the vent covers. After searching for an answer to her problem and finding nothing, Michele decided that she would invent one.
Michele moved to Grande Prairie, AB from BC 21 years ago and never left. She met her husband 10 years ago and they have two beautiful kids. Michele worked in office administration most of her career, and then in 2019 when her daughter was 2 and she was playing with our vent covers, she came up with a crazy idea - what if she invented a childproof vent cover? Since then she’s designed, patented, and manufactured a childproof vent cover that sells online. She has recently auditioned for Dragons Den Canada, and would love to get her product into retail stores so it is accessible to more people. Michele believes that if you dream it, you can achieve it.
