Jason Weber brings a unique human-centered perspective to thin wall component design at Evok Polymers. As a seasoned industrial designer, Jason's strength lies in creating innovative, functional products that balance aesthetic appeal with manufacturing practicality. His design philosophy is deeply influenced by his multi-generational household experience—living with his wife, two sons, and mother has sharpened his innate empathy and observational skills, enabling him to anticipate how users interact with products in real-world scenarios. This user-first approach translates directly into thin wall part designs that are not only structurally sound and manufacturable but also intuitive and purposeful. When evaluating thin wall geometries, Jason considers ergonomics, fit and function, and lifecycle performance from the earliest concept stages. Outside the design studio, Jason finds creative balance through cooking, gaming, and relaxation, activities that fuel his innovative problem-solving abilities.
