The Studio · Design Poise
Founder-led, production-proven: the studio behind Alienware hardware, Fossil wearables, Lowe's retail systems and Altavian aircraft.
The studio
Design Poise — formerly Design Pinnacle — is an independent design & engineering studio, led by a practitioner whose desk shipped hardware for Alienware and Dell, wearables for Fossil, retail systems for Lowe's and Office Depot, and unmanned aircraft for Altavian. Eighteen years across industrial design, mechanical engineering, enterprise data and security — one studio that takes hardware and the systems around it from principle to production.
Four disciplines
Industrial design, UX/UI, CMF, design language systems — trained in transportation design at CCS Detroit.
Mechanical & systems engineering, SolidWorks CAD & surfacing, prototyping and validation.
Infrastructure, enterprise systems, PLM/PDM administration — run daily in production.
Hardening, secure architecture and risk programs — an active cybersecurity degree candidate.
Why Design Poise
No junior delegation. Every engagement is led by a practitioner who shipped for Alienware, Dell, Fossil, Lowe's and Load King.
