Experience
Founded in 2010, Peak Design︎︎︎ is a photography and outdoor brand, B Corp, and Kickstarter poster-child guided by the mantra “make the best things” and striving to improve the world through social initiatives like Carbon Neutral︎︎︎. Made famous for their innovative Capture Clip︎︎︎ and Anchor Link︎︎︎ systems, their Travel Tripod︎︎︎ and Everyday Backpack have garnered them a cult following from the likes of tech journalist Marques Brownlee︎︎︎, among others.

I collaborated with a team of engineers, industrial designers and softgoods developers on a new travel product and entry into a fresh market niche for Peak Design. My responsibilities included:

  • Exploring design directions, building CAD, and weighing ergonomics & aesthetics to integrate an overmold and flexible mechanism into a space-optimized subassembly.
  • Releasing CAD packages and drawings to vendors overseas. Testing and comparing parts received.
  • Constructing softgoods prototypes, drawing tech-packs, and evaluating samples of architecture variants.
  • Contributing meaningfully to brainstorming and debate around feature priority, product construction, and design intent.
  • Discussing and reviewing user pain-points, root causes, and technical solutions to the office’s custom bike rack with CEO Peter Dering.
