Chief Everything Officer @ Phare Labs | Making homes safer + healthier
Phare just won a Red Dot Award. ๐ A few years ago, this was just a sketch on a notepad and a shared frustration with smoke alarms that couldn't tell the difference between a fire and a piece of toast. Today, it's an award-winning product that people can actually buy and put in their homes. That's a wild sentence to write. This one belongs to the team, both past and present, and the people who believed in what we were building before there was much to believe in. Credited on the award are Arnau Donate Duch, Minwook Paeng, Ian McBride, Will Panton, Memoy Mishra, Jinhak Lee, and Xinyi L., but that only scratches the surface. Building a hardware product is a long road. A regulated hardware product even more so. But the journey of creating something that makes a real difference in the lives of people who use it is worth it. Moments like this one are just icing on the cake. --------- ๐๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ถ๐ด๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต, ๐ข ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด. ๐๐ฆ๐น๐ต ๐ฃ๐ข๐ต๐ค๐ฉ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ถ๐ญ๐บ.
