The Initial Problem

I started my tech career in 2014, back when spending five days a week in the office was the norm.

I’d bounce between my desk, conference rooms, and the lounge with my MacBook Pro as I juggled emails, Jira tickets, and PowerPoints. 

Half the day was spent sitting on some piece of Ikea furniture with my laptop on my lap, and within minutes of doing so I noticed my lap would be burning. My MacBook Pro would be hot to the touch, so I would use a pillow as a makeshift laptop pad. 

A New World

Fast forward to 2020 and remote work had exploded, and suddenly I had the freedom to work anywhere that had good Wifi.

I was spending a fraction of my time working in an actual office, instead finding productivity anywhere with a nice view and a good vibe.

A Bigger Problem

While working remote I discovered our laptops were emitting harmful EMF radation, which is particularly dangerous when working with your laptop on your lap.

I bought every EMF shielding laptop pad off Amazon, and was universally disappointed. They were all wrapped in a slippery plastic outer layer that could send your laptop crashing into the ground. The inner layer was cardboard that inevitably bent out of shape.

These products felt anything but premium.

Amazon Purchase #1

Cheap slippery plastic, bends out of shape in your backpack

Amazon Purchase #2

$99 for vegan leather wrapped around cardboard

Amazon Purchase #3

More vegan leather that can't hold its shape

THE SOLUTION

I realized I had to create the product I wanted that no one was offering, and after a year and a half of iteration and five prototypes the NomadPad was born.

The NomadPad is a layer of inflexible, EMF shielding aluminum-magnesium alloy wrapped in a super grippy liquid silicone.

Unlike its competitors, the NomadPad provides a surface that will keep your laptop firmly gripped into place on any surface. Just as important, the NomadPad stays locked firmly into place on your lap even as you adjust your posture during seated work sessions.

Heat and EMF radiation from your laptop are no longer a concern when working with the NomadPad, it keeps you protected so you can focus on what matters.

But the real magic isn't in the materials, it's in the freedom it unlocks.

With the NomadPad you can truly work from anywhere.
