Arya Swamy
Industrial Designer · Mechanical Engineer · Product Developer
I move fast from concept to working prototype, then use real user feedback to figure out what to fix next, whether that is a mechanism that does not hold up or a fold that fails under load. My background bridges industrial design and hands-on mechanical engineering, while experience in product management and strategy has broadened how I approach product development, from user needs and technical feasibility to market opportunity and business viability.
