Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/kylehartelt

I am a talented product designer who is well-versed in the complete product build cycle from ideation and prototyping to mass production.  Over the past 10 years I have become an expert in manufacturing processes like plastic injection molding, dye casting, stamping, and CNC machining.   As a product design engineer, I have been able to work on numerous cross-functional teams and launch dozen industry changing products. I am a very creative professional with a Bachelor's degree focused in Mechanical Engineering.  To get a better idea of my work check out my portfolio www.kylehartelt.com.

When I'm not crushing it on the job or telling dad jokes, I spend my nights and weekends in my design studio building, woodworking, or playing music.

I have a deep admiration for simple and timeless designs and am delighted when I get to contribute my knowledge to making better products for the world.  If you’re interested in grabbing coffee and talking shop (at my shop), please send an email my way at kyle@telhart.com.
