We Like Lobsters, and design.

John Fiegener

Founder

I like lobsters, the sea, Marblehead, lobster boats, old houses, diesel engines, national guitars, fiberglass, beer, my Kay bass, lobster shanties, McIntosh amps, post and beam and of course, product design.

Richard Marshall

VP. Business Development

Hey mate. I’m Richard. I do business development here at TOOL. Born Down Under and Oxford educated. When I’m not explaining the rules of cricket, I’m slinging product development services to some truly innovative companies.

Marcus Hanna

Lead Industrial Designer

I am North Shore born and raised with an interest in all things outdoors including climbing, mountain biking, skiing and surfing. I received my BID from Syracuse University so that I could understand how to create valuable experiences and interactions through products.

Hannah Polster

Lead Mechanical Engineer

I grew up in Maryland before moving up North to attend Boston University. Outside of engineering, I enjoy sailing, skiing, cooking, and will never say no to a good puzzle.

Nicole Fiegener

CFO

I am here to take care of all the things the engineers and designers don’t. Accounting, H/R and operations are my responsibility. I’m from California, went to college in San Francisco and have been loving living in New England ever since.

Jordan Tryon

Mechanical Engineer

I grew up in the northeast and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Graduated as a mechanical engineer from Clarkson University where I also studied mathematics and electrical engineering. In my free time I like to explore the area, tinker, make things, and even build some robots.

Zach Cranfield

Industrial Designer

After receiving my BID from Pratt Institute I went on to work in a variety of fields including outdoor sports and medical products.  When I’m not enjoying my newest hobby, Sailing, or picking for antique treasures, I can be found working on my own design research projects.

Nate Streeter

Mechanical Engineer

I grew up just outside of Boston and have continued to orbit around the city. Graduating from Northeastern University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering enriched my existing passion for tinkering and making things. In my off time, I am an artist who loves to sketch, animate, and make comics.

Jay Zhu

Manufacturing Lead

I live and work in ShenZhen China. I support the manufacturing effort in China for the products designed at TOOL. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from Beijing JiaoTong University in Beijing.

Claire Fox

Mechanical Engineer

I’m originally from New Jersey and I moved up to the Boston area after graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Art. In my free time I love to ski, bike, hike, cook, and make fun cocktails at a local distillery.

Kyle Hounsell

Electrical Engineering Partner

BS and ME in Electrical Engineering from MIT. I help with all electrical engineering projects at TOOL. I collect rare earth-stones and enjoy photography and being in nature.

Mogli

Mind Reader

I grew up in CA chasing gophers and quail. Usually I roam the studio making sure spirits are up.  I also enjoy throwing my toys up in the air or inspecting a good bush hoping to find a rabbit.

let's talk about cool stuff.
