Reflecting on 2020

When I think about the last 12 months, the first feeling that comes to mind is gratitude. I suppose, at this point, we’re all joking about “turning the page” and moving past this difficult and tumultuous year. I know I definitely have those feelings. But most importantly, I’m reflecting on the positive aspects…and for those I remain eternally grateful.

Our Favorite Reasons


  1. I’m so grateful for each and every member of the Designetics team. We comprise a melting pot of personalities and experiences, but one thing we all have in common is a deep respect for one another. We work as a team and push hard to find solutions to problems.
  2. I’m grateful that our employees and their families remain happy and healthy. Although we have all been under a bit more stress, we’re supporting each other every day and accomplishing what needs to get done for our customers—and ourselves. We’ve also been lucky enough to celebrate marriages, graduations, births and the retirement of long-term employees this year!
  3. I’m grateful for our chance to serve others in our community. The mentality at Designetics and throughout our entire organization is to give back to others through our time, talent and treasure—we work hard to do all three.
  4. I’m grateful beyond measure to serve our amazing employees and our customers. I love being the President at Designetics, because each and every day is an opportunity. We’re always looking for ways to improve ourselves and our products.

In closing, I’d like to reflect on one of my favorite quotes: “I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs. Life is full of blessings…sometimes we don’t value it.” For me, this quote seems even more applicable in 2020—hence, I have immense gratitude for all we have and all we’ve accomplished.

To our employees, thank you for consistently showing up. And to our customers, thank you for entrusting Designetics with your process challenges. We stand ready to partner in the future!

Happy Holidays!
