Grey Parker

As a life-long maker and professional problem-solver, Grey champions the powerful alliance between industrial design and engineering. He believes that the right blend of art and science can deliver meaningful products that can both improve the human experience and make good business sense. He brings his wealth of mechanical and manufacturing knowledge to the design process along with a passion for innovation and invention.

Prior to SF, Grey worked in the automotive industry as a seat engineer and chief designer for Honda, establishing a broad scope of expertise including steel structures, mechanisms, plastics and injection molding, soft foam and trim, and electro-mechanical systems. He knows the factory floor and how to push the limits of feasible design while thinking ahead to production. Throughout his career, he’s taken pride in making products beautiful from the inside out. Outside the office, you can find Grey fly fishing on the river, building LEGOs with his daughters, taking on carpentry projects at home or finding adventures outdoors.
