Versatile
Iteration Master
Hi! I'm Eliot Michaels. I'm adept at sketching both by hand and digitally, as well as prototyping with a wide variety of materials for any number of applications. I've used the many skills I've built up in school and professionally to create furniture, hand tools, soft goods, and even a board game which has seen success in national competition and is going into production soon. As I go into the work force full time I'm excited to learn more about DFM and pick up as many new skills as possible!
My work experiences include:
Imagine Print Solutions, 1 year internship, prototype lab intern
Board game design, 1 year guided mentorship, co-designer
WhiteBoard Product Solutions, future, designer / inventor
Here are some projects I have worked on!

Bough is a flatpack set of furniture designed to fit into any space restrictions. It can be easily broken down and moved in standard panels of components.
Branching Out is a nationally awarded board game design where players work together to grow and shape a tree according to their individual sense of beauty.


This bubble wizard staff breaks into modular sections using magnetic connectors, making it perfect for any child (or adult). It has motion activated lights and functions, and the prototype features a 3d printed wood grain pattern achieved with surface modelling.
