Pip Tompkin Design

Pip Tompkin Design is a product design agency in Los Angeles, launched in December 2008 by industrial designer Pip Tompkin with co-founder and CFO Shannon Hematian. The studio designs consumer and enterprise products, with core competencies in product design, brand strategy, packaging and UX, including interfaces for virtual and augmented reality.

Its method follows the ‘assume nothing, question everything’ philosophy, applied by a flat team without titles and with an equal ratio of men and women. Projects include the Polycom RealPresence Trio conference phone, the Belkin Valet Dock and the Vizio Crave 360 speaker, for clients including Dell, Microsoft, Nokia, Toshiba, Twitter, iRobot, HTC, PlayJam and Belkin. The work has earned IDEA, Red Dot, iF and CES Best of Innovation awards.
