Logic Elevated. Beauty Engineered.
A seamless synthesis of industrial design and mechanical logic for a world that demands technical reality.
At Pixel & Timber, I treat materials, manufacturing, and user behavior as a singular, integrated puzzle. My process moves beyond traditional problem-solving to achieve Emergence: a state where form and function align so precisely that the final product feels inevitable.
I view project constraints—technical reality, financial goals, and environmental tensions—as the tensile members of a unified whole. Like the interconnected strands of a web, every aspect of a design’s architecture is sensitive to the others; a shift in one is felt across the system. By balancing these forces from the outset, I navigate the intersection of observational evidence and mechanical execution to transform complex paradoxes into elegant, market-ready hardware.
As an Industrial Designer with two decades of R&D experience, I help mission-driven startups and legacy incumbents bypass internal inertia. By integrating technical rigor with observational research from the very first sketch, I deliver high-performance products that are inherently scalable, strategically protected, and designed to endure.
“P&T literally completed our project in half the time and half the budget of competing firms. They made learning early a financial possibility.”
“We at GE had built a first generation design for a specialized maintenance procedure. We hoped to improve the functionality, ergonomics and aesthetic of the equipment, so we engaged [Pixel & Timber] to work on the next generation. Over a short period of time, David and his team interviewed dozens of stakeholders, observed the equipment in several environments and led design/brainstorming sessions. The result was beyond everyone’s expectations. When we took the new unit to airline hangars, the mechanics invariably were drawn to this machine and wanted to work with it. It looked like no other equipment in the hangar, except the airplanes themselves. David and team knocked this out of the park for us and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again.”
“We came to Pixel and Timber with an idea and a feature list, but with no idea how to make it work. We gave them the requirements and told them to use their imagination. What was delivered was well beyond what we had imagined. Pixel and Timber had managed to incorporate features our own engineers had been unable to crack, and did it in a beautiful, ergonomic design that our distribution network absolutely loved. I would highly recommend Pixel and Timber for any project with complex feature sets that also need to be beautiful and sleek.”
“If you are looking for elegant solutions that seamlessly translate into real life, then David and his team at Pixel & Timber are right for you.”
“Pixel and Timber is masterful at quickly distilling a client’s vision and demands into stimulating illustrations and compelling prototypes... Pixel & Timber works with a great sense of urgency and purpose which is extremely important to business managers striving to capture the kernel of a new concept before it dissipates. Their holistic approach to ethnography matched with their knowledge of materials (plastics, metals, glass, etc.) and appreciation for the entirety of a product’s development life cycle (from user input to 3D models to post manufacture packaging) causes P&T to stand out well from other industrial designers in my experience.”
