Hello, I'm Pedro (Pereira Basile)
I'm a Product Design Engineer for hardware that lives on the body.
I design and engineer devices people wear, hold and use every day: on-body medical wearables, ear-worn systems, smart wristbands and connected consumer electronics. I start with the human question (how it fits, how it feels at the end of the day, how it goes on and comes off) and answer it with prototypes people can actually wear, long before anything is locked into tooling.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer II at frog, a global creative consultancy, where I also lead the studio's model shop. Before that I founded GIUSTA Bici, a small studio that designed and produced bicycle storage furniture in Brazil.
MY APPROACH
/ Engineering with Empathy
As an Engineer, I'm trained to find the right answer. As a Designer, I love to embrace ambiguity and find the right question.
This duality matters most on products that touch people. Bodies vary, and a device has to work for all of them, all day. So I make the human questions physical early: I use hands-on prototyping as a language, whether that means scripting a quick mock-up to test a button's feedback, crafting an ergonomic surface in CAD, or cleaning the sawdust off the workshop floor.
