Meet Andy – Founder of Mountain Equipment Lab

With nearly 20 years in snowsports product design, I’ve done just about everything—building prototype skis, lab testing and on-snow testing, CNC programming, CAD designs with composite layups, and launching skis and snowboards for some of the biggest brands in the industry.

At mel, I believe product shape and performance should reflect the brand, not the engineer. Mel’s job isn’t to design the “perfect” ski or board for us—it’s to design the right one for you. By studying past models, understanding your brand’s DNA, and aligning with your product line, we create gear that feels like a seamless extension of your identity.

I’m based in Park City, UT—at the heart of the mountains and the industry.
Let’s connect and build something that rides true to your brand.
