Ethan Merklein

I'm an industrial designer with a BS in Industrial Design and a minor in General Business from Appalachian State University. I believe industrial design is about creating the best possible human experience, and I'm focused on exploring ideas that improve the lives of others, particularly within the softgoods industry. My work as a custom furniture fabricator has strengthened my quality standard for fit and finish, and I make sure no detail goes untended. My FRODIG studio project has been exhibited at ICFF and Designblok.
