Biography
Steve Barbarich was born in San Francisco, CA. Graduating from Claremont Harvey Mudd College as an engineering major in 1993, he then went on to start up several companies such as ip&r, absolutelyNEW & ChooseDirect.
IP&R
IP&R was started in 1995 by CEO Steve Barbarich. He grew the business from a marketing firm where inventors could bring their patented idea and get it into the marketplace, to the full-service design, marketing, packaging, and manufacturer it is today. IP&R has revenues under $20 million a year.
IP&R has several arms. goPROTO is the branch that designs and engineers products, specializing in taking a product from inventor's patent drawing to a working invention. "It's about deciphering what the idea is," says Troy Stevens, director of goPROTO. Patents, he says, are relatively easy to get, but "it's really just the technical boundaries of what your concept is. If you take a look at the patent picture and the final product, they often look totally different. The patent is an idea—an invention is something that actually works," says Stevens.
absolutelyNEW is the brand under which IP&R sells finished products. And Amazing Innovations is the branch that markets finished products to companies that may want to license them. The company has about 120 employees, including engineers, marketers, designers, licensing experts, market researchers, and packaging specialists.
The process works like this: An inventor comes up with an idea and secures a patent (IP&R requires customers to hold patents.) Then, he or she approaches IP&R or is solicited through direct mailing. When a customer signs on, IP&R works on the design, prototyping, and packaging of the would-be product. If IP&R thinks the product has potential, it will take it to trade shows to determine the level of interest among potential customers.

Faizan Qureshi is an enterprising artist with vested interests in design and media. "Design is what drives me; it is my passion and my obsession", as he puts it. At 14 years of age, he started as a web designer and quickly developed a name for himself and secured a placement at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. After completing his education, Faizan was ready to embark on a journey to establish himself in the design industry.
"The pieces he creates are inspiration themselves and he has a knack of mixing traditional (inks, paints, lino prints) and digital elements together."
Apart from his work on Gilda Pianelli's Between the Night and the Moon, Faizan is the owner of BollySpice.com, an informative e-magazine about the Indian Film Industry.
Faizan Qureshi is a tut and a slogg, and sometimes a hopeless retard romantic. He is also emo and will probably slit his wrists.
