Greg Katz Email and Phone Number

Greg Katz is a Industrial Design / Robotics at The Bot Company. He possess expertise in industrial design, sketching, design strategy, rapid prototyping, sketchbook pro and 1 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I collaborated with Greg for several years at BeatBots LLC, and among all the designers I've worked with during my career, Greg stands out as a uniquely exceptional talent. He follows a disciplined approach to his craft that starts with deep inquiry to understand the problem at hand; expands into a prolific generation of novel and delightful concepts that flow from his steady and creative pen; and then narrows into a diligent translation of the most promising ideas into fully-formed CAD designs. Most importantly, he has built up enough experience working with mechanical engineers (and doing real hardware prototyping himself) that his work is grounded in reality and in the constraints of both physics and real-world manufacturing processes. Even after we switched from working together to contributing to neighboring projects at X, I continued to see Greg working cross-functionally between engineering, product, and design. He analyzes technical challenges, negotiates complex tradeoffs, and communicates problems, designs, and solutions clearly and effectively so that stakeholders are empowered to make informed decision on the basis of his work. He has also maintained a creative spirit of fun and interactivity into a long and rich sequence of industrial and robotic products that he has been instrumental in designing and bringing to fruition. Above it all, Greg is a trusted colleague and teammate of the highest integrity, and brings a strong sense of purpose and mission to every project he takes on." and "I had the pleasure, and benefit of working with Greg at Google X, Everyday Robots. If ever there is a Designer that can bridge the gap between engineering, product, and design, Greg’s that Designer. He has the attention to detail, technical chops, and collaborative spirit that makes him an exceptional designer."
