About McCrea Consulting

I provide an exclusive bridge between visionary creators, industry leaders, and world-class manufacturing.

McCrea Consulting was founded on a simple belief: Products are expressions of identity, and identity deserves to be executed with enthusiasm, dedication, precision, care, and love for the vision, period.

With over 14 years of experience managing complex manufacturing networks for some of the world's most demanding companies, Patrick McCrea stands at the intersection of visionary design, strategic geography, and creative manufacturing excellence. Physically based in the new manufacturing frontier in Southeast Asia since 2012, he brings a unequivicably unique and multidimensional perspective to your supply chain (hence the tesseract logo). Visionary hardware startups and established brands alike are being underserved by traditional sourcing agencies that prioritize transaction volume over product integrity.

Based in Southeast Asia since 2012, Patrick provides a boots-on-the-ground reality to your supply chain. At McCrea, we are technical partners who understand the nuance of your clean lines, your material finishes, and your engineering constraints.

We choose to work with fewer clients so we can dive deeper—treating your product launch with the same intensity and care as if it were our own.

Behind the logo: The Tesseract Philosophy

Why “Tesseract”?

A tesseract is a four-dimensional cube.

  • • A square exists in 2 dimensions.
  • • A cube exists in 3.
  • • A tesseract exists in 4.

We can’t fully see a tesseract — only its projection. It represents a structure that operates beyond the limits of ordinary perspective. That is the foundation of McCrea Consulting.

The Problem With “Square” Thinking

Most organizations operate in what you could call two or three dimensions: Cost, Timeline, Headcount, and Quarterly targets. They optimize within fixed structures. They improve what already exists. They manage complexity, but rarely redesign it.

This works — until it doesn’t.

Markets shift. Supply chains fracture. Margins compress. Competitors move faster. At that point, incremental improvement is not enough. What’s required is dimensional expansion.

What 4-Dimensional Thinking Means in Business

Four-dimensional thinking adds one critical variable: time as strategy. It means:

  • Designing systems that compound instead of just operate
  • Seeing supply chains, pricing models, and data flow as one interconnected organism
  • Anticipating second- and third-order effects
  • Redesigning structures instead of optimizing silos
  • Creating leverage instead of adding labor

It’s not about complexity for its own sake. It’s about clarity across multiple layers simultaneously.

What We Do

McCrea Consulting helps companies move beyond incremental optimization and into structural advantage. We work at the intersection of:

  • Global sourcing strategy
  • Cost engineering
  • Margin architecture
  • Supply chain resilience
  • Data systems and workflow design
  • Direct factory expansion and supplier development

The goal is simple: Build systems that are stronger, faster, and more profitable — not just more organized.


Who This Is For

This is not for companies looking for cosmetic change. It’s for leadership teams who know:

  • Their current structure is limiting growth
  • Their margins are leaking through invisible inefficiencies
  • Their sourcing strategy is reactive instead of strategic
  • Their systems are holding back speed-to-market

If you’re willing to rethink the box, we’ll help redesign it.

The Philosophy

A square is stable, and lame.

A cube adds depth.

A tesseract adds dimension.

We help you see the system from outside the system. And then we help you rebuild it.
