Matt Nuccio started at Design Edge aged 14, as soon as his parents – Mark and Linda – launched the company (or as he puts it “whether I agreed to it or not, I was an employee from day one”). Since then, he has seen the firm grow to be a sizable force, boasting a 5,000 square foot facility complete with its own photography studio, computer lab, model making shop and a recording studio.

We caught up with Nuccio to find out more about life at Design Edge, as well as about his work fighting for inventor rights and lobbying for patent reform in Washington as part of the board of directors for the United Inventors Association of America (UIA).
