At Logic, we believe good design shouldn’t come at the cost of affordability — and that smarter systems are the key to revolutionizing how kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms are built. This summer, we welcomed a new intern who’s helping us push that mission even further. Meet Thaddeus Keep, Logic’s summer intern from Vermont State University, Randolph, a manufacturing engineering student who’s been working hands-on to bring our next-generation modular pods to life.
“I came to Logic because I wanted real-world experience in building something that matters,” Thad says. “I’m studying manufacturing engineering, and the opportunity to design, prototype, and build actual modules — not just on a screen — was huge.”
Thad’s main focus this summer is helping refine and build Prototype 2 of our modular kitchen, bathroom, and utility pods. He’s been working to create a “single source of truth” CAD model to unify our design process — streamlining every connection, panel, and part. That may sound technical, but it has real-world impacts: faster builds, fewer mistakes, and more consistent quality across every unit.
One of the biggest lessons from his experience so far? The power of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). It’s one of Logic’s core principles: the idea that a great product is only as good as its ability to be built efficiently, affordably, and repeatedly — without compromising on quality.
“Logic isn’t trying to make the most custom kitchen,” Thad explains. “We’re trying to make the best one for your dollar. A system that’s clean, repeatable, and simple to assemble — so it delivers value to the customer without cutting corners.”
He’s also played a big role in transforming Logic’s new facility — painting walls, redoing the ceiling, and turning a formerly dark space into a bright, inviting canvas. “The idea is to create a showroom where customers can visualize these modules in their own homes. We wanted a blank slate that lets the pods speak for themselves.”
Through all of it, he’s been learning what it really takes to scale up quality: careful planning, clear systems, and constant iteration. “Jason’s been great to work with — he’s taught me a lot about slowing down, making a solid plan, and sticking to it. Don’t move the same thing twice.”
When asked what he’d tell future Logic customers, he’s clear: “If you want a fully custom kitchen — picking every drawer front and faucet — then modular might not be for you. But if you’re looking for a smart, affordable, beautifully designed kitchen or bathroom that just works and looks great? Logic is absolutely the right choice.”
And that’s what we’re building — one prototype, one detail, and one fresh coat of paint at a time.
