Built from a passion for Product Design and a focus on real workflow issues
Built for Reliability in Real Shooting Conditions
Cascadia Advanced Manufacturing and Design was founded in 2024 with the intention of solving real-world issues photographers and videographers face while shooting. Cascadia draws inspiration from the beautiful natural landscape of the Cascadia Bio-region and the Pacific Northwest where the company is based. The advantage of advanced manufacturing and rapid prototyping enables new products to go from pain point to concept to final design in a matter of weeks.
“I design with one goal in mind: to ease the everyday pain points and small frustrations that slow photographers and videographers down while shooting.”
Birk Zukowsky, BDes.
Founder of Cascadia AMD
