The beachhead: automotive wire harness design
Where it starts. Wire harness design is home turf, and the tool suite's first domain.

I build the tools,
then I build the products.
A self-bootstrapped engineering studio in Mexico City, building the browser-based design tools behind its own products.

The thesis
The barrier to building physical products just came down.
Desktop printers and freemium CAD already made prototyping accessible. What hasn't come down yet is everything around the printing — the design work, the tolerancing, the routing, the rules-based tasks that eat time without asking for judgment.
That's what I'm building tools for.
What gets built
Three verticals,
one tool suite behind all of them.
Different problems, one method: prototype fast with the in-house tools, then engineer for production.
Office
Hardware for how people work
Hardware for how people actually work. Modeled, printed, tested, revised.
Get in touch Household
Products for tech enthusiasts and consumers
For people who care how things are made. Same process, smaller scale to start.
Get in touchThe tool suite
Browser-based design tools, starting with wire harnesses
Approachable enough for someone with a printer and an idea. Rigorous enough to run production work through. Automotive wire harness design is the first domain — and the first real test.
