Andre Sampaio
I am an experienced Industrial Designer with a rich history of working in the consumer goods industry. Fluent in SolidWorks and KeyShot, aiming to solve problems through innovation.
After 30 years of corporate jobs experience, I had an entrepreneurial venture. I created FASTATIC, an accessories gaming company. FASTATIC took me to a broad range of business experiences. Coming through concept, branding, patenting, producing, and selling through Amazon. Check out www.FASTATIC.com

The 28 patents and five international awards give me the confidence to tackle any challenge.
During my work experience, I had the chance to collaborate on the design of more than 200 houseware products. They go from cleaning to storage, passing through the kitchen and bath. Most of it is made with plastic and metal. The result is a rich assortment of products, but in this portfolio, I'm going to talk about just a few of those. Scroll down and check it out!

Join forces for the better
