Joseph Han

Who am I:

I'm a creative design professional with a B.S. in industrial design and 10 years of experience spread across hand crafted hardwood gaming furniture, precise machining for ballistic components, and Sci-fi world building.

What do I do:

I deliver design solutions - I'm a quick study with great spatial and pattern recognition skills. I have good taste that I can back up with good design foundations and practical experience. I make beautiful functional things.

I communicate concepts - I employ hand sketches, 3D models, concise copy, and a good deal of pantomime to communicate and demonstrate the concepts at play to provide as much clarity as I can.

I prototype - This is my favorite part - building out solutions to prove concepts and breaking them to inform function. Typically this involves a combination of traditional hand skills - cutting and sculpting - as well as rapid CAM tools - 3D printing and laser cutting. It never hurts to have a mill.

I plan fabrication/manufacturing - I design the build process, kit out a shop, QA parts, and manage vendors.

What I'll be doing regardless:

Playing with my daughter, making things I want for my life and my family, waxing philosophical on the democratization of design and manufacturing, and all the possibilities.
