​ABOUT

Volume Studios was founded in 2015 by Chicago-based Industrial Designer Todd Herlitz.

With 25 years of professional design experience, I have designed products in a wide range of categories including Consumer Electronics, Furniture, Housewares, Structural Packaging, and Toys.  My vision for Volume was to build a creative consulting studio that draws on my experience to provide unique, functional, and beautiful design work to a broad client base.

In addition to design consulting, Volume is an innovation & invention studio bringing our new product ideas to market through licensing.

I love being part of the design community and give back however I can.  I’ve been a featured speaker at several design conferences and regularly participate in portfolio reviews, workshops, and sponsored design projects with ID programs around the Midwest.

​I am have worked with nonprofits Advanced Design and IDO to mentor design students at the High School, College, and Young Professional levels.  The goal is to help create a more diverse and inclusive ID community made up of people from a wide range of backgrounds and with unique points of view.
