I’m Daniel Imbert, an industrial designer based in Atlanta, originally from the Dominican Republic. My work spans product, furniture, and interaction design, with a focus on clear form, physical honesty, and objects that carry meaning through use. I’m interested in how structure, material, and restraint can create designs that feel intuitive rather than imposed.
My work has received international recognition, including a SIT Furniture Design Award (2025) for ARC-o, a minimalist seating design that explores balance, continuity, and structure through bent wood and steel, and Global Footwear Awards — Winner in Unisex Fashion and Sandals for Alisio, a contemporary espadrille that reinterprets traditional construction through material clarity and modern form. These projects reflect my interest in creating everyday objects that sit between utility and expression.
I’m currently completing a semester-long internship as a Seat Trim & Seat Design Intern at Tesla, taking time off from school to focus on automotive interior development and large-scale production design. This experience allows me to work within real manufacturing constraints while collaborating across engineering, design, and production teams.
I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology and continue to develop independent and collaborative projects alongside my studies. My practice moves between physical making, digital modeling, and iterative prototyping, with an emphasis on clarity, craft, and long-term relevance.
