It's nice to meet you!

Gabi Peters
Industrial Designer, etc.
I've worked in product development, design research, design engineering, and manufacturing engineering! I love being involved in not only concept development, but all of the technical sides of product development as well.
​While it may seem like a wild career path, I'm not afraid of jumping into something new and adding to my knowledge as a designer. I worked full time during my last 2 years of school working on my technical engineering skills and collaborating with a diverse range of clients and vendors. I have led the successful completion of numerous projects from custom architectural components to intricate machined parts all the way from post it sketches to finalized production orders.
