Hey there! I'm Christopher Palangio, an Industrial Designer in Manasquan, New Jersey. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Industrial Design, and I'm diving into the world of design. My work is all about tackling everyday problems and creating products that make life just a little bit easier.
Right now, I’m working as a Product Design Engineer at Knight ATV in Tinton, NJ. I get to design all sorts of cool stuff for ATVs, Side by Sides, and UTVs, with a focus on Speaker Systems. I love blending creativity with practicality, and I’m excited about what’s next in my design journey!
ABOUT ME
PROJECTS
The Sound Bite is the ultimate portable boombox, blending rugged functionality with a playful lunchbox-inspired design. Powered by a versatile drill battery, this compact powerhouse delivers impressive sound performance through its 6.5-inch speaker, making it perfect for any on-the-go adventure. The durable handle and sturdy build ensure easy portability, while its unique aesthetic guarantees it stands out wherever you take it. Whether you're at a worksite, campsite, or backyard hangout, the Sound Bite is your perfect audio companion.
Sound Bite Mini
Meet the Sound Bite Mini, the pint-sized sibling of the original. Featuring a 4-inch speaker, it packs a punch despite its smaller size. Designed for even greater portability, it’s ideal for more casual outings or personal listening sessions. Like its larger counterpart, the Sound Bite Mini runs on a drill battery, offering the same convenience and reliability in a smaller, more compact package.

Drill Battery Powered: Swap in your existing drill batteries for hassle-free power.

Exceptional Sound: High-quality speakers for crisp, clear audio.
