Hello, I'm Pedro (Pereira Basile)
I'm a Mechanical Product Engineer who brings ambitious product concepts to life.
My expertise is bridging the gap between creative industrial design and detailed engineering execution. I thrive on accelerating concepts from idea to robust, manufacturable products for the wearable, MedTech, and consumer electronics industries.
I am currently a Mechanical Engineer II at frog, a global creative consultancy, and the founder of GIUSTA Bici, a product design studio.
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 is at the core of my process. I believe that product development is about flexibility, empathy, and humility, a process as technical as it is creative.
My goal is to make physical interactions intuitive and meaningful. I use hands-on prototyping as a language to translate a creative vision into a testable reality, 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.
