Product department
Me“That should probably be a button.”
I built it.
Then I kept going.
I know elevators. I get curious.
I have a slightly questionable idea of what counts as a hobby.

ON CURIOSITY
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PANELSI’m an elevator mechanic
I’m an elevator mechanic
with a side project problem.
I’m Bogdan Rus: an elevator mechanic, a university dropout, and the person who started Element in 2016. I know this industry from the practical end of things. I also get bored easily.
That’s how my idle thought became a cab configurator, and my cab configurator became elevator.design.
“I was honestly just bored and thought to myself… meh, I could probably make a cab configurator, so I made one in a few days for fun.”— Me, choosing a relaxing hobby
My own description? I more than likely might be a bit on the spectrum
, and I definitely get bored easily. Apparently, my idea of taking a break is building another feature.
MEET THE REST OF THE ORGANIZATION
I know the team very well.
It’s me. In a different hat.
I keep the meetings unusually efficient.
Design department
Also me“Move it two pixels. Back one.”
Quality control
Still me“Why does that corner look like that?”
I’m joking about the org chart. I’m serious about making the design process clearer.
THE SHORT VERSION2016 “What if?” Your turn.
I start Element.
Hands-on elevator work comes first.
My side project takes over.
I think a cab configurator sounds like a fun idea.
Make something yours.
The next design decision belongs to you.
A small space.
A different possibility.
