What Our Clients
Are Saying
/ Our Process
Design Development
Phase 1
Every project starts by understanding the problem we are trying to solve. Through in-depth market research and exploration, we immerse ourselves into the specific design needs, identify the market and competition, and highlight the areas of opportunity. This concept development phase is critical as it lays the foundation for the entire project. By engaging in extensive ideation, product concept sketching, and brainstorming sessions, we develop a wide range of potential solutions, from mild to wild. Collaboration between the client and our product design team is key to pinpointing the most impactful and user-centered solution(s) to pursue into the next phase.
Proof of Concept
Phase 2
In the proof of concept phase, we leverage our rapid in-house 3D prototyping capabilities to create physical models and prototypes of the preferred concepts. Our product design team rigorously tests each prototype, analyzing every aspect of the product to ensure it meets standards for functionality, durability, and user experience.
Engineering & Sourcing
Phase 3
Collaborating closely with our engineering partners, focus is now directed to fine-tuning the selected design for production. Our Color, Materials, Finish (CMF) experts refine the chromatic, tactile, and aesthetic identity of the product. We evaluate the current landscape in production and supply chain logistics when making refinements, selecting materials, and sourcing manufacturing. By addressing supply chain issues early in the process, we mitigate risks and ensure a smooth transition from design to production.
Manufacturing
Phase 4
Our product design team works closely with engineers, developers, and manufacturers to manage and preserve the design integrity established in the early stages of development. Throughout the manufacturing process, we maintain a strong focus on detail and quality control, overseeing production to ensure that the final product meets quality expectations and market demands. During this phase, our visual design team is often brought in to develop structural packaging and supporting graphics that align with the selected distribution plan.
Market Launch
Phase 5
The market launch phase is where our in-house multidisciplinary teams shine. We love the opportunity to work with product design clients from concept to launch, and beyond. Often collaborating with marketing departments, we also design branding and packaging, launch campaign collateral, retail displays, and 3D product renderings and animations for omnichannel promotion objectives.
