Summary
Adam Bernstein is a hybrid engineer, designer, and artist with 12 years of experience crafting human-centered interfaces and physical-tech prototypes across startups and research labs. Currently shaping human interface design at Apple while leading hardware aesthetics at Alchemica.AI, he bridges product, interaction, and fabrication—from embedded telematics at Better Place to sensor-driven prototypes at Archetype AI and Google ATAP. Trained at Stanford, Imperial, and the Royal College of Art, he blends speculative design thinking with rigorous engineering, making technologies legible and humane (notably designing AV–pedestrian interactions at Humanising Autonomy). Beyond software and circuits, he’s comfortable in a bronze foundry, translating mold-making and casting craft into tactile design sensibilities that inform his technical work.
