Founded in 2010, Tomorrow Lab is a technology innovation studio specializing in the prototyping and development of new hardware technologies. We collaborate with entrepreneurs of all sizes to transform innovative concepts into market-ready, manufacturable products. Through our well-honed process, refined over hundreds of projects, we deliver on-brand designs, optimized timelines, de-risked technologies, and lower overall costs.
At Tomorrow Lab, we lead with Holistic Innovation—a research-driven approach that seamlessly integrates technology and design from the outset. Our “Hardware Dream Team” guides you through every step, from invention to manufacturing launch, ensuring every product is optimized for manufacturability and engineering from day one.
Tomorrow Lab owns and operates a Brooklyn-based fabrication studio called Made Today. This facility allows for rapid fabrication, assembly, testing, and low-volume manufacturing, supporting the iteration and testing of mid-fidelity beta devices before final design.
Tomorrow Lab collaborates with trusted fabricators, factories, and assembly houses across China and the U.S. Through longstanding partnerships, we deliver high-quality, scalable products with clear communication and seamless end-to-end services, ensuring timely and affordable manufacturing and assembly for our clients.
The Potentially Genius® web series is a fun peek behind the curtains into a highly truncated version of our invention and prototyping processes. In each episode, we work with a new guest to turn their potentially genius idea into a potentially genius thing, as quickly as possible. Proudly sponsored by our favorite component supplier, Digi-Key Electronics!
Are you curious about the science and stories inside well-known and not-so-well-known hardware technology products? So are we! In our web series, The Teardown, we disassemble products, study how they are made, and figure out how they work. Watch videos on YouTube and Instagram.
As the founder of Tomorrow Lab, Ted regularly speaks on the role of design studios as invention centers and the application of science and design to entrepreneurial ventures to create new technology products. Ted holds a Masters of Industrial Design from Georgia Tech, a Bachelors of Inventive Design Engineering from Purdue University, and has taught design studio courses at Georgia Tech, Drexel University, the School of Visual Arts, and the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design.
