DESIGN VISUALIZATION

Hardware for the way
you move and connect.

Independent hardware. Northern California.
A small starting point for ambitious things.

01 / THE ORIGINAN APARTMENT NUMBER. A WAY OF THINKING.

A place to live.
A place to begin.

323 is home.
And a starting point.

323 Industries is named after my apartment. It’s where I’ve created everything so far: the ideas, the designs, the work that turns a possibility into something physical. The name is a reminder that you can start with the space you have. Your ambitions don’t have to fit inside it.

FROM THE NOTEBOOK / UNPOLISHED ON PURPOSE

Shitty first sketches.
Real things next.

I believe in shitty first sketches. If I can just start, then I can finish. These are the actual pages: rough lines, measurements, and ideas being worked out. They don’t need to look finished to move the work forward.

02 / IN THE MAKINGFOUR IDEAS. TAKING SHAPE.

Made to
make contact.

A world of networks. A smarter car.
A base station. A handwritten message.

CONNECTED IN EVERY DIRECTION.

360

An ESP32-based device that brings BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, LTE, and GNSS positioning together. More ways to connect. More room to build.

WORK IN PROGRESS / PRODUCT IMAGES ARE DESIGN VISUALIZATIONS. AEGIS BASE IS BASED ON THE WORKING PROTOTYPE.

03 / THE PROCESSLEARN. MAKE. REFINE.

An idea.
Then the work.

Design, electronics, code, and physical form all meet here. Each project is a reason to learn something, try it, and make the next version better.

01

Find the form

+

Start with what an object should do and how it should feel. Sketch, question the shape, and give the idea a form worth making.

SKETCHES / FORM / MATERIALS / INTERACTION
02

Work through the details

+

How will it fit? How will it open? How will the pieces come together? The small physical decisions are part of the idea, not an afterthought.

CAD / FIT / ASSEMBLY / ITERATION
03

Electronics & firmware

+

Turn a behavior into a circuit and a circuit into something you can use. Board layouts and embedded code bring each project closer to working hardware.

PCB LAYOUT / EMBEDDED CODE / CONNECTIONS

Make the next version

+

A first board is a beginning. Build, test, find what needs attention, and carry that learning into the next revision. Progress comes from doing the work.

PROTOTYPE / TEST / LEARN / REPEAT
04 / THE MINDSET

Start where
you are.

You don’t need a huge facility to take an idea seriously. A place to start, a willingness to learn, and the patience to keep going can take you a long way.

323 is about making room for ambition in everyday life. The space is small. The curiosity, care, and possibilities are wide open.

01 Use the space you have.02 Take the idea seriously.03 Keep making it better.
05 / A NOTE FROM 323THE NAME IS PERSONAL.
I named it after my apartment because that’s where I’ve created everything. I want 323 to show what can begin in the space you already have.

THE FINE PRINT

Ideas becoming
hardware.

360, Aegis, Aegis Base, and Trace are projects in development. The notebook images are original photographs. The Aegis Base image is an AI-assisted design study based on the physical prototype, exploring updated materials and finishes. The Aegis image is an AI-assisted studio visualization based on the first board’s PCB artwork, not a photograph of assembled hardware; fine layout details may vary. The 360 image is an AI-assisted studio visualization based on the board with a proposed graphite-gray and Signal-green finish; fine component details may vary. Trace is a design visualization. Final specifications, vehicle compatibility, and availability are not announced here.
