My name is Heman Au (he-min ow). Thanks for stopping by! I'm an industrial designer with a mechanical engineering background who is passionate about enriching people's lives through thoughtful designs and delightful experiences. I love tackling complex problems and collaborating with cross-functional teams to craft simple yet thoughtful solutions.

I'm fortunate to have built a diverse career across SF, Seattle, and Boston, with over 15 years of industrial design and mechanical engineering experience spanning both corporate and consultancy environments. I have a proven track record in design — from ambiguous blue sky projects, where I transform open-ended challenges into a clear defined scope of work, to iterative ones, where I help companies shape the design, strategy, and execution needed to evolve and expand their ecosystem of products for the next generation of users.

I approach every project with curiosity and humility, always looking to collaborate across disciplines to arrive at the best possible solutions. On this site, you'll find a small sample of my work — I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
