We bring together industrial design, engineering, human factors, prototyping and production expertise to support physical product development from early definition through to manufacture.
Our work is shaped around the needs of each project, combining the right disciplines to resolve user, technical and commercial challenges.
We can support projects from early concept and feasibility through industrial design, technical development, prototyping, testing, design for manufacture and production. We also regularly join projects part-way through, for example to build on an existing prototype, prepare a design for manufacture or support supplier engagement.
Yes. We often work with teams that already have a concept, prototype or product design. We can review what exists, identify technical or user-experience issues, and help define the next stage of development without unnecessarily starting again.
Yes. We work with startups, scale-ups and established businesses developing physical products. We also support accelerators, venture builders and innovation programmes working with hardware ventures.
Yes. We can support electronics development and integration alongside industrial and mechanical design, either directly or with specialist engineering partners where appropriate. This allows the electronics, enclosure, interfaces and manufacturing requirements to be developed together.
Costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of the work. Smaller phases can start from a few thousand pounds, while larger development programmes may run into tens of thousands. We typically work on a fixed-fee basis where the scope is clear, and use phased or time-based approaches for more exploratory work.
This varies significantly with complexity and scope. A focused review or prototype phase may take a few weeks, while a full product-development programme can run over several months. We normally break larger projects into clear phases with agreed deliverables and review points.
Yes. We support crowdfunding launches with industrial design, product development, prototyping, manufacturing readiness, packaging design and product visualisation. We’re also partnered with Kickstarter and Blazon Agency, helping us support campaigns from product development through to launch.
