About The Project
Frankenstein is a Micro-Factories as a Service (MFaaS) platform that reimagines manufacturing as an on-demand, decentralized system.
We were commissioned to design a concept demo and build studio prototypes, offering a glimpse into how the platform could reshape the journey from discovery to delivery for buyers, designers, and manufacturers.
Exploration
The platform structures the manufacturing journey into a seamless flow—from discovering designs to selecting manufacturers, executing production, and managing delivery.Each stage addresses critical gaps: lack of trust, IP risks, unclear documentation, and fragmented communication.Key interventions include immersive previews, verified ecosystems, and interactive building guides that replace static documentation.
The result is a system that reduces uncertainty while increasing accountability across every step.
01
Discovery
For Buyers
Custom-manufactured products lack the trust and reliability of mass-produced goods due to the absence of standardized quality control and clear accountability between designers and manufacturers.
For Designers
Risk of IP theft discourages innovation as designs can be copied without protection or proper attribution.
For Manufacturers
Inability to verify designs upfront leads to inefficiencies and production errors.

Designer Notes
Clarity Over Complexity
Manufacturing is inherently complex, but the experience shouldn’t feel that way.Information is layered progressively—revealed only when needed—allowing users to move forward without being overwhelmed.
Designing for Trust at Every Step
From menu to movement, the experience mirrors the pace of street-side culture while staying clean and reliable.
A System, Not an Interface
Frankenstein wasn’t approached as a UI problem, but as a coordination problem.The interface is simply a surface layer over a system designed to align three stakeholders with competing needs—buyers, designers, and manufacturers.
Manufacturing, Made Predictable
A fragmented process, restructured into a reliable, on-demand system.
