Thing Tank is a product design firm founded by Chris Luomanen in 2005. We provide research, design and realization services to clients, as well as developing products under the Thing Tank name.

All product design is experience design. So we start by understanding users, and other stake-holders to help our clients make the right thing. Then we make that thing elegant to use and beautiful to look at. We turn user insights into tangible product concepts, not just powerpoint decks.

Prior to launching Thing Tank, Chris was a product designer, project manager, human factors researcher, prototype fabricator and workshop designer at IDEO. Chris also teaches design at Stanford University.
