At Stratos, you’ll find cutting-edge creativity brought to you by designers who understand what it takes to work alongside engineers to bring innovative products efficiently to market. From human factors to user interface development, our expert designers work with clients to bring functional, easy-to-use and thoughtfully-architected technology to life.
The Stratos design team’s approach is simple: understand the user’s needs and create meaningful, purpose-driven products that connect technology at both a functional and visceral level to achieve business success. Design at its most basic level is problem solving. We strive to inform our process with meaningful input that lays the foundation for an informed design solution. Teamwork is essential, and we work closely with our technical team to deliver solutions that meet our customer's business needs and the user's product needs.
Intuition is not to be discounted as part of the design process—it's the magic that’s hard to quantify. It gives a deep connection between artifact and people. When properly translated into a product, intuition is the ingredient that creates desire, puts a smile on the user's face, makes the job easier and creates efficiency. Design is more than just the product. It is a system that the product is a part of. Design is a process of reduction, focusing on the most essential elements from business, technology and human needs to create the most elegant solution to the problem.
Stratos’ Industrial Design group is led by Michael Nelson, winner of multiple national and international awards and patents and original founder of Stratos.
