Applied Engineering Collaborates with Mighty Studios at Design Sprints & Spirits
Applied Engineering is excited to announce our collaboration with Mighty Studios for the upcoming Design Sprints & Spirits event, part of the inaugural Design Silicon Valley on May 14th.
This open studio experience brings together innovators, designers, and engineers for an afternoon of creativity, collaboration, and conversation—highlighting the ideas and partnerships shaping the future of product development in Silicon Valley.
Where Design Meets Execution
At its core, Design Sprints & Spirits is about accelerating innovation. Design sprints are a proven methodology used to rapidly ideate, prototype, and validate new concepts—helping teams solve complex challenges in a matter of days rather than months.
This approach aligns closely with Applied Engineering’s capabilities. From early-stage builds to full-scale production, we help customers bridge the gap between concept and manufacturable reality with speed, agility, and precision.
Partnering with Mighty Studios
Mighty Studios is a senior-led product development firm based in Silicon Valley that integrates strategy, design, and engineering to bring complex hardware to market. Their approach is centered around helping companies “travel light and fast,” providing an elite team of experts that supports and protects a product vision from early ideation through large-scale manufacturing.
In short, Mighty Studios focuses on turning bold ideas into well-defined, market-ready products—while Applied Engineering ensures those products can be built efficiently, scaled effectively, and delivered with quality.
Together, our collaboration delivers a seamless path from concept to production:
Mighty Studios: Strategy, design, and product development
Applied Engineering: Manufacturability, assembly, and production scale
Experience the Open Studio
Join us for an exclusive look inside the engines of innovation at the Mighty Studios x Applied Engineering Open Studio. As one of the inaugural events for Design Silicon Valley, we’re opening our doors for a curated walkthrough of a space where ideas move quickly from concept to reality.
Enjoy local beer, wine, and light bites while connecting with a diverse community of designers, engineers, and industry experts. From deep dives into product development to high-energy networking, this event is designed to showcase the South Bay’s thriving design ecosystem in a setting that feels more like a celebration than a traditional meetup.
With music, guest expert discussions, and a collaborative atmosphere, Design Sprints & Spirits offers a unique opportunity to engage, learn, and build meaningful connections.
