Design Process
We work in three phases, starting with a strategy that aligns our team with your business goals and end user needs. Next, we enter an iterative design and development cycle, refining the design through prototypes that validate our design goals. Finally, we oversee a smooth transition into production, where we shepherd your product through factory selection and manufacturing.
01
Strategy
- We kick off your project with a workshop to understand your product vision and business priorities. Our design team picks up wherever your team left off, filling in any gaps through in-depth user research and component feasibility testing. This first phase culminates in a detailed requirements document that guides the rest of the development process.
02
Development
- Our comprehensive development services employ a tightly integrated team of experts to create beautiful, functional, and user-friendly tech devices. Leveraging our collective experience, we meticulously craft every aspect of your project from the inside out. Our team excels in executing executes complex PCB and firmware requirements, engineering enclosures ready for large-scale manufacturing, and seamlessly integrating intuitive interactions with appealing aesthetics.
03
Production
- Our production services include detailed quotation preparation for clear and accurate cost estimates, factory selection to match your project's specific needs, and thorough sample reviews to ensure high-quality standards. We also provide dedicated factory liaison support to facilitate seamless communication and production.
