A veteran product designer and developer, Tricia Wright works with clients to distill their needs and guide them through the product development process, realizing the fullest potential of an idea.
Tricia has been recognized for her innovative designs - from high tech to toys. While designing wearable technologies at Paul Allen's research firm, she developed concepts that were awarded multiple patents. As a strategic thinker and designer at Wild Planet Toys, Tricia used her creative vision to win numerous consumer and industry awards including Toy of the Year. Never satisfied with the ordinary, she is always encouraging ideas and teams to do more, be more, be better.
Knowing nearly 80% of a product’s environmental footprint is determined during the design stage, Tricia established Process 376, a salon for local designers to share green product ideas--many of which can be seen at SFgreenlabs.com. Passionate about using fewer resources, which increases profit AND is good for the environment, she created Rewind Lab, a line of products that uses salvaged materials and rewinds them into objects that people desire.
You can find Tricia in SF biking to the next meeting or better yet, try emailing her at twright@pulpworksinc.com.
