About Chad Davis
I am an accomplished Industrial Design Leader with 23 years of experience in creating groundbreaking products, systems, services, and experiences. Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered a wide range of products, including mobile devices, consumer electronics, wearables, IoT, VR, medical devices, household appliances, and home goods, among others. My passion lies in the design process, and I consistently prioritize the needs of the user above all else. By effectively translating research findings into actionable insights, I strive to develop innovative design solutions that address real user needs. Currently, I am leading a team of highly talented designers. Together, we are responsible for various aspects of the design process, including advanced research, landscape analysis, visual design language, concept generation, brainstorming, storyboarding, 2D and 3D sketching, CMF exploration, concept visualization, 3D CAD, animation, prototypes, art direction, design for manufacturing, and UI/UX.
