Project Type:
Fixed Price
Budget:
Looking for a practical, affordable fixed-price proposal for concept design plus one simple working prototype.
Project Overview:
I am looking for a product designer / industrial designer / prototype builder to help me design and create a working non-electronic prototype of a portable cash organizer.
This is not an electronic product. I do not want:
screens
lights
apps
batteries
motors
sensors
I want a mechanical, portable, organized cash system that helps store, separate, access, and reload bills and coins by denomination in a clean and practical way.
The main goal is to create a compact portable organizer that feels premium, is easy to use, and has a simple but functional working prototype.
Core Concept:
This product should be a portable clamshell-style or similarly compact organizer that includes:
separate bill channels by denomination
separate coin channels by denomination
a mechanical slider for each bill denomination
a mechanical slider / release tab / push system for each coin denomination
easy bill reinsertion and easy coin reloading
a small erasable notes/reference section
an overall layout that is compact, portable, and smooth to use
Bill Features Needed:
The bill side is very important.
I want:
dedicated bill slots/lanes/channels for denominations
clearly labeled sections
a slider for each denomination that helps advance or present one bill at a time
bills to remain aligned and organized
a system that feels smooth and controlled, not messy
A major priority is that putting bills back in should also be easy. I do not want tight wallet sleeves that are annoying to reload. I want a design that makes reinsertion/refill simple and practical.
Coin Features Needed:
I also want:
dedicated coin channels by denomination
easy access to exact coins
a mechanical coin release system, such as a slider, push tab, or similar simple mechanism
no loose coin pouch as the main solution
clean and organized coin storage
easy coin refill/reloading
Notes / Reference Area:
I would like a small erasable writing section inside the organizer where I can write quick notes, reminders, totals, or general references.
Examples:
quick math
spending notes
conversion/general reminders
payout notes
This could be something like:
a small reusable writing panel
wet-erase style area
mini marker holder if practical
What I Need From the Freelancer:
I want someone who can help with both:
Design
product concept
internal layout
mechanical idea for bills and coins
portability-focused form factor
Prototype
one simple physical working prototype
basic but functional
enough to demonstrate the concept physically
does not need to be production-ready
Deliverables:
Please include:
concept sketches and/or CAD
internal layout/dimensions
proposed mechanical approach
one physical working prototype
photos/videos of prototype function before shipping if possible
Important Priorities:
The biggest priorities for me are:
portable design
clean denomination organization
smooth bill access
smooth coin access
easy bill reinsertion
easy coin refill
simple mechanical usability
affordable fixed-price approach
What This Is Not:
This is not:
an electronics project
a smart device
a mass-manufacturing project right now
a finished consumer product
This is a low-cost first prototype to prove the concept and get the physical organization and mechanics right.
Ideal Freelancer:
I am looking for someone with experience in:
product design
industrial design
mechanical concepts
simple prototype fabrication
organizers / storage systems / cases / physical mechanisms
Bonus if you have worked on:
slider mechanisms
coin/bill organizers
portable storage products
functional prototype builds
To Apply, Please Send:
your fixed-price quote
what is included in your price
your approach for keeping this affordable
examples of similar mechanical/product/prototype work
whether you can do both design and prototype, or only one part
Final Note:
Please keep portability in mind. I do not want something bulky like a retail cash drawer. I want something compact enough to carry in a backpack, sling, or travel bag, while still being organized and practical to use.
