Tomoki Nomura is an industrial designer with experience in consumer products, furniture, and hardware. He oversees the entire product-development process, from initial sketches to prototypes and production, and personally prototypes everything he can.
His experience includes in-house product development for consumer products sold through mass-market retailers such as Amazon, Costco, and Williams Sonoma; designing contract furniture that won an ICFF Editors Award; and running an independent soft-goods practice. He is fluent across the full product lifecycle - research, CAD (SolidWorks and Rhino), Class-A surfacing, CMF, and rapid prototyping using SLA/FDM, CNC, and sewing.
Tomoki cares about considered design that's built to last, and does his best work when close to the material.
Consumer products, furniture, and hardware. Strong in human factors, Class-A surfacing, CMF, and prototyping, across the full lifecycle from CAD to production.
Yes, electromechanical consumer products taken to production and mass-market retail (Amazon, Costco, Williams Sonoma), plus an ICFF Editors Award and shows at ICFF and NeoCon.
I sketch in Photoshop, model in SolidWorks and Rhino (with precise NURBS and G2 surfacing) and render in KeyShot. I then prototype using 3D printers, laser cutters and industrial sewing machines. I use AI (Gemini/Claude) to speed up research, rendering, and coding, but the design judgement is still mine.
