The Teacher
Hello, I'm Tony Larsson.
Born an eternal tinkerer I have been doing hardware products as long as I can remember. Today I run a boutique agency that helps mid-sized companies develop consumer electronics.
I created this course to transmit my knowledge and hard-won experience in product development.
Apart from learning the tools necessary for creating successful hardware products, I hope you will feel the excitement of having ones ideas come into reality.
