Design and development for work that has to be built.
An independent practice connecting design, custom manufacturing, and systems integration.
Project +
production management
Lead project decisions, schedules, production planning, and documentation – with quality checks and field support through delivery.
Computational design +
fabrication
Create custom geometry, production models, technical drawings, and CNC files – using prototypes to test and refine assemblies.
Product +
systems development
Develop prototypes, software, and controls, integrating hardware and digital systems – for interaction, production tracking, and workflow.
Design + fabrication
Our Process
Move from form development to material decisions, fabrication, and assembly. Each stage informs the next, with prototypes and checks guiding refinements along the way.
Explore geometry and compare configurations before preparing information for production.
Evaluate finishes, textures, and material combinations alongside fabrication and assembly requirements.
Use shop drawings to guide fabrication, then check dimensions, fit, and finish as components take shape. Quality control throughout the process helps prepare the work for assembly.
Work through connections, spacing, and fastening details.
