Industrial Design
Connecting with People
Holistic, User-Centered Design
We design products that connect with people – making their lives better, more comfortable, easier, more efficient, more intuitive and enjoyable.
Successful product experiences start with developing an understanding of behaviour – not just human behaviour to discover what people want and need, but also how entire systems behave – from social and technical systems to environmental and political ones. Through research and iterative concept development we identify unexplored opportunities, unarticulated needs and ways of re-framing the problem that lead to better end products. We use a variety of methods, from sketching to low-fi mock-ups, to explore potential product embodiments so that we can evaluate ideas as an end state before we begin the engineering. In this way we are able to reduce the risk of developing a product that fails once it reaches the market.
Our award-winning industrial design team works collaboratively with both clients and the electrical and mechanical teams. We excel in the early front-end research, ideation, and visualization, but are acutely aware of the real-world constraints and strategic implications decisions made early in the design process.
Whether you are a start-up looking for help refining and visualizing your product ideas to better pitch them to investors, or an established company looking for industrial design support to develop a new product, we can help. Contact us to learn how we can help with your next project.
