Stephen Chininis studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art. He is also a teacher, and currently instructs senior design students in the industrial design program at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he received his master’s. After a successful career designing everything from bicycles to medical equipment, he started Chininis Design. By 1994, inventing had almost taken over, and he formed Chininis Product Development Group so he and his partners could invent together. Designing infant products became a specialty. Over the years, he has placed over 50 inventions with major juvenile products companies, some of them award winning. Since 1995, just about every baby in the United States has played with a rattle that I have designed! His recent success in office products, health and beauty products and housewares have expanded his portfolio.
