Every process begins with correctly identifying the design problem. The innovative approach to design is based on the “know why” principle. The most important thing in design is knowledge – not how we want to design something, but why we want to design.
To find out why and for whom, we can conduct not only design but also technological and business analysis of the market, collect the client’s expectations and priorities during the kick-off meeting, verify them in quantitative and qualitative research, and develop the final version of design guidelines as part of joint workshops that will gather all the knowledge.
Such a broad research module will provide a solid base and guidelines, including design briefs, for further process stages. It will also ensure that its result responds to the needs of the client and user and solves their problems in the best possible way.
Initially, we create at least two distinct conceptual designs in parallel. Both concepts align with the same design objectives in different ways. Each concept offers a unique approach to the end-user experience regarding ergonomics and consumer usability.
We prioritize ensuring technological feasibility in our projects. Our collective expertise as inventors, designers, strategists, and engineers gives us the know-how to design, manufacture, and successfully commercialize products.
Next is concept exploration. Together with the client, we select the most promising product design concepts, and we start working on design and development variants to see them in the closest form to the final product.
When working in this way, the client can actively participate in the design of his product, introducing his comments on 3D models and prints, prototypes, and individual variants. Prototypes are tested to meet the arrangements, assumptions, dimensions, and ergonomics, then verified and improved. The design process involves preparing detailed 3D files containing design elements and their selected variants.
At the testing stage, we perform many tests to verify and identify any details that might require corrections in the entire device. After the tests, we implement corrections in the files if needed. The services provided to our clients also include ongoing supervision and control of production. We carry out the supervision process at every stage of the product design process. It includes, among other things, supervision during the production of injection molds, production of the first trial series, or corrections made by the client’s departments.
The production variants proposed by our engineers will depend on the customer’s expectations, volumes, and production technology. Our engineering competencies cover the entire spectrum of technologies, from essential technologies related to plastic and metal processing to more complex operations such as mechanical engineering. Our team prepares files for injection molds and stamping dies tailored to our designs.
The last stage of engineering involves creating a prototype using a similar or target production technology (depending on the needs and cost of the technology) and preparing technical and executive documentation.
Many tests are performed to verify and identify any details requiring corrections in the entire device. After the tests, any corrections are implemented in the blueprints.
Nobody knows the product better than its creators. With the most intimate knowledge and passion for the product, we are best at emphasizing product capabilities and creating engaging communication strategies.
With 30 years of experience, we understand the art of product introduction. We highlight your product’s value, innovation, and empathy and ensure it speaks directly to your target audience.
