Where amazing robotics meets expert human-centered industrial design
I partner with maturing AMR companies to turn successful engineering into category-defining solutions. I offer expert design strategy, industrial design, HMI, and engineering support to help you secure future funding or design for market acceptance and mass production.
Based in Austin, TX · Working with robotics teams anywhere.
- 11 design awards
- Utility and design patents
- 20 years shipping products
Level up your robot and your brand
Robotics is evolving past functional utility. As the industry matures, the challenge shifts from making machines work to integrating brand identity, intuitive user experiences, and scalable manufacturing into a single cohesive design. I help robotics companies make that leap.

Design Strategy
Before form: who your robot has to win over and what it has to prove. I map the users, the constraints your engineering already lives with, and the brand you want the product to carry, then set a design direction your whole team can commit to before engineering locks it in.
- 02
Industrial Design
The physical form: enclosure, surfacing, ergonomics, kinematics, ventilation, and how the parts come together. I design for the production line as well as the render, so the robot looks right on the floor and can actually be built.
- 03
HMI
Interfaces that show the operator what they need at the moment they need it, organized around how they already think. Light, sound, and form carry status to everyone nearby, including under stress, when attention is at its worst.

Engineering Support
Hands-on help where design meets engineering: production-ready CAD and DFM that meets your engineering and manufacturing standards, so the design stays intact through handoff and production.
Why me
One principal designer, start to finish.
You work with me directly, from first sketch to the production floor. No junior handoffs.
For 20 years I've designed hardware where the interface and the physical design can't fail: aircraft cabins, marine controls, security systems, and safety-critical mechanisms. The question is always the same: Who are the stakeholders? How do they think and behave? What motivates them? How can design improve their lives and increase the percieved value of your solution? My process has won industry, customer satisfaction, & design awards.
