Who we are

Industrial design.
Built by hand.
From Querétaro.

NorthWorks Lab was founded by an industrial designer with over 15 years of experience engineering specialty vehicles, custom conversions, and mobile systems.

Our background is automotive design — not just conversion. We think in systems, engineer for purpose, and build with precision. Every vehicle is designed from the inside out.

Based in Querétaro, México — 10 hours from the Texas border, in a city with a serious manufacturing and engineering culture. That's not a limitation. That's our edge.
