Samson Design salutes

Jim Kasic of Sophono as a finalist for Colorado Bioscience Association “Rising Star of the Year,” for innovation in hearing aid technology. We are proud to be part of this product design effort.

Medical Training Product

Simulation Medical Corporation introduced the Compass™, the next generation of endovascular simulators. Samson Design transformed Simulation Medical’s vision of a portable, high-fidelity medical simulator into a medical product small enough to check as baggage on a plane and simple enough to take less than five minutes to set up in a physician’s office. The design provides value to Simulation Medical by capitalizing on low-volume production techniques that produce robust parts and crisp assemblies without the overhead of costly tooling.


COOL Product


Samson Design developed the Friji Fan, a portable oscillating fan for BestMed. Commercializing the client’s new, ultrafine misting technology into a home product, Samson Design created a space saving energy fan that can be used indoors or out. While the Friji Fan can cool a room 15°, it only uses the power of a 100-watt bulb. The consumer benefits from an environmentally friendly fan that is mess free – no drip pans, hoses, or large filter pads.


Samson Design President named as Senior Fellow

Samson Design president Jeff Samson has been named a Senior Fellow at the DaVinci Institute.

"Launched in 1997 as a non-profit futurist think tank, the Institute has emerged as a center of visionary thought, attracting both a national and international following of idea junkies and business leaders alike."

"Unlike Leonardo DaVinci, the Institute set its sights on producing tangible results as opposed to conceptual thinking.... During the past twelve years the Institute has been very prolific in its accomplishments, writing and publishing countless papers and producing over 100 events across the country."

Droplet Measurement 's PAX stands out with GUI by Samson Design

Samson Design designed the layout and graphics for the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of Droplet Measurement’s Photoacoustic Extinctiometer (PAX). PAX is a sensitive, high-resolution, fast-response instrument for measuring aerosol optical properties relevant for climate change and carbon particle sensing precision scientific equipment. Samson Design analyzed the way technicians used this instrument and the findings indicated that the user needed a clean interface with a simple navigation architecture and an ability to represent critical information clearly on this 7" touchscreen display.

Ice Energy continues Success Story with $24 Million

We, at Samson Design, love to see our clients succeed – both in market leadership and increases to the bottom line.    Ice Energy is a leader in specialized thermal energy storage products that capitalize on the arbitrage of energy at on- and off-peak rates. Specifically, Ice Energy’s technology shifts as much as 40% of peak energy demand to off-peak hours by creating and storing energy at night when energy is cheaper. Ice Bear, the company’s main product designed by Samson Design, works in connection with existing air conditioning units. It is compatible with about 85% of commercial units. It has two modes: ice cooling and charging. In 2010, Ice Energy announced an infusion of $24 million to support the deployment of utility-scale distributed energy storage products and a 53-megawatt project in California.
