We help you build customers for life by focusing on:
1. Aesthetics that kick ass.
2. Usability that helps your customer love your product.
3. Manufacturability so you have a sustainable business.
We can help with complex sheet metal designs, injection moulding conundrums, prototyping nightmares and production in South Africa and China.
At the end of the day, we love building premium products and refining your customer needs into thoughtful, detail
orientated designs.
Our process is:
1. Research
Plan properly and set up a strong foundation for your product’s development. Research and initial concept exploration goes a long way in ensuring your product idea is viable.
2. Ideation and Design
Figure out the function, explore the aesthetics and choose a basic conceptual direction to create solution for your business. Expect sketching, CAD and prototyping in this phase.
3.Engineering Design
Turn that concept design into a fully functional physical prototype that can be manufactured. It’s imperative we test our assumptions in the real world and make sure your design can be manufactured!
4. Production
Finally, your idea is validated, the product can be mass manufactured, and you’re now ready to set up your manufacture partners and begin selling your idea to the world.
