About Elevation Design
We’re a small industrial design firm with over 15 years of experience turning complex ideas into innovative, user-focused products. With deep expertise in user research, usability, ergonomics, advanced surface modeling, and design for manufacturing (especially injection molding), we bridge the gap between inspired concepts and real-world production.
We’ve worked in-house, consulted across industries, taught future designers, and even helped manufacturers fix unmanufacturable parts. Whether you’re building specialized equipment or refining your next big idea, we’re here to make it intuitive, efficient, and ready to build—with a little creativity and a lot of know-how.
Patrick Monahan – Principal, Industrial Designer
Product design expert, problem solver, and the guy you call when you’ve got a wild idea and want to make it real.
I run Design Elevation, a boutique industrial design studio that helps companies (and brave inventors) turn napkin sketches into award-winning, manufacturable products. With over 25 years in the product development world, I’ve designed everything from commercial cleaning machines and life-saving safety equipment to clever consumer gadgets and high-tech medical devices.
I’ve worked in-house, on-site, in classrooms, and in the prototype lab — always chasing that sweet spot where great design meets real-world practicality. I believe in user-centered design, deep dives into how things get made, and making sure the final product actually solves a problem (and maybe even looks cool doing it).
