Drawing on 15+ years of experience, Holonomic Design, LLC applies a first-principles, model-based design approach to solve your most challenging problems. The term "holonomic," introduced by physicist Heinrich Hertz, implies path independence—the final result is independent of the path taken. This principle informs the design process at Holonomic Design, prioritizing a robust methodology that helps clients navigate the numerous paths leading towards optimal solutions.

Design Philosophy

Great products begin with a deep understanding of the needs and requirements of all stakeholders and are realized through a clear, structured process. Recognizing that design can feel overwhelming, the journey starts by listening closely to the client and all key stakeholders to understand their goals and priorities. By aligning these goals with practical requirements, the process reveals a clear path to innovative solutions that meet the needs of everyone involved.
