About us

A small company that engineers useful things.

HW DESIGNS LLC is a Louisiana company based in New Orleans. We design engineering-driven products for two kinds of people: pet owners who bring their pets everywhere, and makers who build electronics.

Our story

Started by an engineer who never leaves the dog at home

HW Designs was started by a hardware engineer who doesn’t travel without a pet. On every trip, the bowl was the thing we forgot, and the dog ended up drinking from cupped hands. So we designed the travel kit we always wished we had packed: water, meals and cleanup in one bag, ready by the door.

The same habits go into our electronics. Our boards build in the parts you usually have to wire up yourself, and every one comes with open documentation and a public test report.

What we stand for

Simple products that just work

01

Engineered, then tested

Every product is checked against a written test or inspection plan. Our ESP32-S3 board’s test report covers 122 tests, and it is public.

02

Safe materials, always

Our pet gear uses food-grade, BPA-free silicone that goes in the dishwasher.

03

Open documentation

Schematics, pinouts, 3D models and example code are published for every board we sell.

04

No subscriptions

Buy it once and it keeps working. No monthly fees and no account you have to keep paying for.
