EdgeSealDesigns

EdgeSealDesigns is a design studio based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in industrial and product design with an emphasis on edge detailing and seal integration for durable, manufacturable equipment. Founded in 2010 by designer Maya Chen and engineer Lucas Romero, the firm arose from a mandate to combine aesthetic edge work with functional sealing solutions in consumer electronics, medical devices, and architectural hardware.

The studio offers a range of services including industrial design, human factors engineering, material and seal research, rapid prototyping, CAD modeling, and collaboration with manufacturers from concept through production. Its design approach centers on iterative prototyping, seal performance testing, and close alignment with fabrication methods to ensure that forms translate into reliable, scalable products. The team prioritizes sustainability, ease of assembly, and cost-conscious material choices.

EdgeSealDesigns has completed projects for various sectors, including rugged electronics housings, gasket-integrated door hardware, and water-resistant product enclosures. The work is characterized by clean geometry, deliberate edge transitions, and attention to manufacturability and serviceability. The firm has earned recognition in design circles for its practical, production-ready solutions and has contributed to industry discourse on sealing and edge quality in product design.
