About me
TONY BRAVETTI
After getting my Industrial Design degree in 2000, I have worked predominantly in consulting for aviation interiors and products. The aviation industry brings with it very stringent engineering requirements, at very low economies of scale. I enjoy the challenge. I prefer to keep my work practical and to the point. Design needs to have purpose and provide the client a pathway to success that is most appropriate for their strategic goals. The trick is to do it with beauty and brilliance.
I am passionate about simplistic and elegant solutions that enhance our life experiences. It's the subtle things that make the difference.
When out of the office, I enjoy spending my time with my two beautiful children, and my passion of riding and racing bicycles - both on an off the pavement.

October 2000 – 2004
Teague | Everett WA
A new position at the time - translate design concepts into full scale showcase mockups of aircraft interiors and manage build fabrication. Take the core design elements of a concept and design a full scale mockup that allows clients to experience the design intent. This position taught me the value of practical design and the reality that a design is only as good as it's capability to be fabricated.
- Mechanical and structural design of full scale enclosures and moving components with attention to detail.
- Use knowledge of materials and fabrication techniques to represent production type materials.
- Working with a multitude of fabrication techniques: tooling, machining, rapid prototyping, electronics
- Manage multiple suppliers and sequencing of outsourced components
- Manage a small group of mockup builders to maintain project goals, intent, and schedule
