Applied research and systems architecture for human–machine technologies.

Operating at the boundary where research becomes product, funding early system exploration through SBIR and selective partnerships.

Applied Research

SBIR- and STTR-funded feasibility studies exploring human perception, material behavior, sensing modalities, and interface systems at early technology readiness levels.

Systems Architecture

Defining system direction before premature optimization. We integrate human, mechanical, and technical constraints into unified architectures that support long-term viability.

Translation to Product

Supporting spinouts and early ventures through selective fractional technical leadership, ensuring research insights are preserved as systems transition toward commercialization.


Applied Design works with a limited number of collaborators each year.
