I’m an industrial designer working with founders building hardware products.

I’m brought in when the product doesn’t yet exist - only early engineering, technical breakthroughs, and the commitment to bring something real into the world.

For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with hardware and deep-tech startups to turn complex technology into production-ready products. My work spans wearables and mission-critical systems, where usability, engineering constraints, timelines, and manufacturing realities must align from the outset.

I guide products from initial definition through manufacturing readiness - aligning technology, user experience, and business intent into a single, executable direction.

Having operated inside scaling hardware companies, I understand the pressure surrounding first-generation products: capital burn, tooling decisions, CM negotiations, and investor scrutiny. I bring structure and clarity to those moments.

Turning Complex Technology Into Shipping Hardware.

In first-generation hardware, industrial design is decision-making made tangible.

The physical product determines how technology is trusted, understood, and adopted. Architecture, ergonomics, material choices, and form must resolve into a coherent whole that supports both engineering integrity and user reality.

When that alignment is disciplined and intentional, the product earns credibility with users, manufacturers, and investors alike. That is the standard I work to.

How I Work With Founders

Defining the Product

Establishing form factor, architecture, and product intent before major engineering or tooling commitments.

Aligning Design & Engineering

Developing production-aware design that integrates cleanly with internal architecture and real-world constraints.

Preparing for Manufacturing

Refining surfaces and materials in direct collaboration with engineering and contract manufacturers.

Protecting the Product Through Launch

Overseeing early builds to ensure the shipped product reflects the original intent.
