Product development for a sustainable economy. The circular design process comprises four stages and is informed by approaches such as design thinking and human-centred design. Understand - Get to know the user and the system Define - Put into words the design challenge and your intention as the designer Make - Ideate, design, and prototype as many iterations and versions as you can Release - Launch your design into the wild and build your narrative - create loyalty in customers and deepen investment from stakeholders by telling a compelling story. There is no single way to design a product or service that creates no waste and pollution or a business model that keeps products in use for years and years. Our strategy can include: - Product life extension - Safe and circular material choices - Reduce the resources required to make the product - Design for upgradability and repair

Simple yet eye-catching packaging keeps your product safe during transfer and offers engaging unboxing experience. We thrive for the most eco-friendly solutions in balance with your brand identity. To launch a product, you often need logo design, a nice pitch deck and a solid brand identity that helps you to secure funding. We can help you with these along the product development journey so the result will be a coherent package.

We design market-changing products for startups who go on to become successful brands. Innovation and user-experience combined with knowing how to get products to production is where our expertise lies. Our expertise is working with startups and companies who want to work like startups. We’ve created a fast-paced innovative process that favours partnerships with clients where we can act as your in-house creative team and support the product development from strategy to manufacture. How is design for start-ups different from other design processes? - Our team is small but experienced, meaning you don't pay for a 4-person team of consultants when much less is needed. - We're ready to help you with low-volume production, even if you only want to make only 10 pieces as a start. - We work in close collaboration with you, with multiple approval steps, so you're always in the loop. - Design for unit price or for budget is no problem.

Parametric design is a process based on algorithmic thinking that enables the expression of parameters and rules that, together, define, encode and clarify the relationship between design intent and design response. It allows us to create complex shapes which were not possible just a few years ago. Production of these designs are possible with traditional methods like injection moulding, or in most cases, with 3D printing. Parametric design can be used the create the overall visual look of the product, or a smaller part of it, for example a special surface area on the housing of a device.

As part of the product development process, we always keep in mind the manufacturer's point of view. Meaning that we design from the start to minimize the problems of production and keep the budget tight. With an in-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes, we optimise the design for lowest production cost and lowest manufacturing risk. Regardless if you're planning to make just a few pieces, a few hundred, or thousands. Some of the processes we're proficient with are: - injection moulding of hard plastics, silicone and rubber - sheet metal forming - assembly - 3D printing (FDM, SLS, SLA, FGF) - packagings - CNC milling - spinning, turning - woodworking - and more Design for manufacture also includes working out and testing every detail of the product, including snap fits, colours and finishes, tolerances and clearances.
