Mike Forlenza

I am an Industrial Design and User Experience professional with 15+ years of experience across a diverse range of design disciplines. I possess experience across the spectrum of product design - ranging from robotics and autonomous vehicles + machines, medical devices, wearables, consumer electronics, housewares, M2M gadgetry and point-of-purchase/retail exhibits among others.

I've worked as an Industrial Designer and UX professional within both domestic and international Fortune 500 companies as well as well-known design consultancies. I now operate my own Industrial Design and UX consultancy where I support various companies' design needs driving each program from concept development through all engineering and manufacturing phases to final on-shelf phase.

I addition to operating my own consultancy, I currently am the sole Industrial Design and UX Hardware Lead at Brain Corporation - a Qualcomm Ventures company pioneering the design and development of robotic and autonomous machines and vehicles in the industrial labor cleaning industry. Prior to the above, I was the Industrial Design Manager for Kodak within their Inkjet Printer and Writing Systems Division.

I enjoy weaving all Industrial Design programs in a more holistic ecosystem with all phases of user experience, research, usability testing, engineering and UI development in turn producing more cohesive, integrated and consistent user-centric products.

Some of the clients that I've worked with are as follows: Brain Corporation, Kodak, OslerMD Medical, Hitachi, Panasonic, Texas Instruments, Polk Audio, SiriusXM, Apricorn, Cimex Biotech, Black & Decker, Walmart, TXU Energy, Pepsi and Accurian among others.
