[ABOUT]

I’m Seán Auciello-Dwyer, a designer working at the intersection of fashion, technology, and cultural storytelling. My work spans footwear, accessories, and speculative objects—always grounded in research and context, with the goal of making products that feel both meaningful and commercially viable.

[APPROACH]

My process follows an anthropological design approach—studying how people live, what they value, and how culture and history shape their relationship with objects. Research means more than trends or surface aesthetics; it’s observation, conversation, and understanding why people choose the things they use every day. That knowledge becomes the foundation for creating products that carry meaning while also embracing innovation and progress. By grounding design in human context and pushing it forward with new tools and technologies, I aim to build work that feels inevitable: rooted in where we’ve come from and charting the course for our eventual destination.

[EXPERIENCE]

I’ve collaborated with independent studios, startups, and global brands, moving between concept development, design strategy, and product execution. Whether developing luxury accessories for major brands, deep tech neural interfaces and robotics for lean silicon valley startups, or experimental objects through my own studio, I bring a unique perspective and absolute commitment to excellence that has consistently led to high impact products and strategy.
