Official Use Only is a distinguished industrial design consultancy based in San Diego, known for turning good products into market successes. We collaborate with ambitious companies—ranging from well-funded startups to established firms—to uncover hidden opportunities that provide a competitive edge. Our methodology integrates strategic insight with award-winning design execution. Rather than merely responding to project briefs, we actively seek out the visual languages, market gaps, and positioning strategies that others often overlook. The outcome is products that are not only trendy and capable of generating buzz but also possess a timeless quality. Our team, led by Michael Kritzer, who has received accolades such as the Red Dot and iF Design Awards, draws on experience from leading agencies like Crispin Porter + Bogusky and One & Co. Our recent accolades include Red Dot Awards for the ME-1 power.
