088 – Cookies in a Snap with Bill Stank
With a background in architecture and design, Bill Stank has long had an interest in product design and innovation.
He has conceptualized numerous projects and products with sketches and models. After years of imagining a truly streamlined product Cookies in a Snap became the invention that really felt right to bring to full development.
Cookies in a Snap was born out of an inspiring cookie making moment that led to a uniquely new way to shape and mold cookies.
The first Cookies in a Snap product represents the beginning of a series of creative accessories for shaping, molding, and making cookies.
Bill and his wife Mary Ann are very much amateur bakers but creative professionals excited about designing new products to make everyday moments special. Their goal is to make memories for adults and children engaged in the creative and fun activity of baking cookies.
