Sam Millen is an American industrial designer and technology entrepreneur. In 1997, he graduated with a Bachelors of Industrial Design (BID) with Honors from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.

After graduation he returned to Boston and spent several years working as a staff designer for world renown product design consulting firms and manufacturers of laboratory and medical products before setting up his Design Office, Propel Innovations, in early 2001. Sam further established himself with multi-year consulting engagements working with firms including Continuum, IDEO, Farm Design (formerly Roche Harkins Design) Essential (now a part of PA Consultants) and several others as a broadly capable and contextual designer. During this time Sam participated in the formation of several startup companies including an Italian consumer audio brand and traveled to China to oversee design completion and manufacturing.

In 2006 Sam co-founded Cue, Inc, a high-end American consumer technology brand. Cue created one of the first audio devices to seamlessly interoperate with Apple’s iPhone in 1997, and also created one of the first internet radios and wireless hifi systems (WSJ Article). In 2017 Sam returned to his consulting practice and in 2019 began expanding his practice to include the development of mobile apps to work in concert with iOT enabled products.

Sam has received several domestic and international design and utility patents, is an active member of the New England technology and entrepreneur community and currently focuses his energies on the development of human-centered iOT and web-enabled devices and experiences for Healthcare.
