ID / CAD / VBL / CMF / PD / GD

Lifted Industry is a brand I founded in 2014 with the surging popularity of portable vaporizers and the legalization of recreational cannabis in certain states.
High Society
I launched the “Rize” as a unique solution on Indiegogo with two other marketing partners and managed factory sourcing, crowdfunding design, and R&D efforts with manufacturers.
Challenge
Design a bold line of quality personal accessories to meet the growing consumer demands of new smoking enthusiasts.
Opportunity
At this time, there was only one major player in the cannabis electronics industry. Lifted Industry and Rize were set against the “Green Boom” attracting investors from Silicon Valley.
The Rize Modular Vaporizer solves incompatibility issues between batteries and heating elements, which result in low-quality disposable batteries and a lack of confidence.
Design & Development
It’s designed for liquids and solids in one compact device. Instead of requiring multiple devices, it features swappable modules for oils, e-liquids, etc..
