Erich Slothower - is an industrial designer and curious hands-on thinker who moves fluidly between design, engineering, and market insight. He loves digging into how things work — and how bold new concepts can maintain their design intent through manufacturing.

His mix of detail-oriented and big-picture thinking helps companies uncover opportunities and push their industries forward. Through design-driven companies like Kohler, Kallista, and Williams-Sonoma, and advanced manufacturers across Europe and Asia, he has led the development of large-scale projects — with strong technical and mechanical aptitude and a rebellious mind as his tools.
