Purpose
We help early-stage hardware ventures design and engineer ideas into something you can manufacture consistently and profitably; bringing the rigour of big-business product development to teams too small to have it in-house.
Because without the first, the second doesn't get a chance.

”If you’re looking for someone who brings both technical depth and fresh thinking, who can lead but also get his hands dirty, Matt is that person. I’d happily work with him again.”

"Matt joined us in Munich and right from the start showed that he wasn’t afraid of a challenge!
He took on responsibility fast—leading projects, building workflows, coaching young designers—and he always pushed things forward with energy and clarity. What I value most is that he doesn’t just ‘get the job done’; he questions, he rethinks, and he looks for the better way. That’s exactly the mindset needed in design projects.
He has the rare ability to move between the big picture and the detail. One day he’s shaping strategy or presenting at an international conference, the next he’s deep in engineering work or mentoring a junior team member. And he does it without ego—just focus and curiosity. People respect him because he leads by example and creates an environment where others can grow.
If you’re looking for someone who brings both technical depth and fresh thinking, who can lead but also get his hands dirty, Matt is that person. I’d happily work with him again.”

”Matt is quite simply very talented and hard working - he's able to distill whats required quickly and frankly just get on with it. He's at the top my list to get the job done.”
-
”Matt has played a major design and engineering role in two of my larger projects, from conception of the idea through to finished manufacture - both were a great success - I was very comfortable to hand over responsibiliy to him for key aspects knowing he would feed back when required.
He is technically very good indeed and so stays aware of the overal design goals but is able to focus in close and get those important details just right.
Matt is quite simply very talented and hard working - he's able to distill whats required quickly and frankly just get on with it. He's at the top my list to get the job done - I think this comes from his ability to be very organised and methodical and communicate well at every level.”

”Matt’s sharp mind and foresight were invaluable in driving projects forward, pre-empting challenges and ensuring their successful delivery.”
-
“For nearly two years I had the pleasure of working closely with Matt, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most diligent and detail-oriented professionals I’ve encountered. His commitment to excellence is evident in every task he undertakes, no matter how complex or challenging. While many might shy away from intricate details in favour of simpler paths, Matt consistently leaned into complexity, understanding that true simplicity lies on the other side of it. His ability to navigate and master these complexities has been a key factor in delivering outstanding results.
Matt has a remarkable ability to think strategically, always considering the long-term implications of his decisions, especially when it comes to the environmental impact his decisions can have. His sharp mind and foresight were invaluable in driving projects forward, pre-empting challenges and ensuring their successful delivery. While his relentless pursuit of design and process improvement was inspiring, and a true asset to any team.”
