Jason Alvarez
Senior Industrial Designer

I’m a senior industrial designer with 20+ years of experience creating products that earn awards and satisfy users. My work spans medical devices and consumer products, with deep roots in design research and cross-functional collaboration.

I have been recognized with international design awards and named in more than 40 patents spanning product design and innovation. While I am proud of these individual accomplishments, I think it is important to acknowledge the team collaboration that was necessary to create these high quality solutions. I’m always interested in working with those motivated to create better solutions for people.


How I Work

Strategically: aligning user needs with business goals

Collaboratively: working across design, engineering and leadership teams

Practically: designing solutions that can be executed, not just imagined
