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 an 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 methods necessary for creating successful physical products, I hope you will feel the excitement of seeing your ideas come into reality.
