Product
Physical things we design, make, and refine by hand.
Mentality
We start with the hands: how will this be held, used, repaired?
Materials tell the truth. We choose ones that age well.
If it can't be fixed, we haven't finished designing it.
Methodology
Observe
Watch how the problem shows up at home.
Draw
Sketches and cardboard mockups, fast and cheap.
Prototype
Make it real enough to break.
Test
Hand it to someone who hasn't seen it.
Make it
Small runs, checked one by one.
