On-Demand Product Team Extension
Integrating with your existing product teams to deliver aesthetic-forward innovation and engineering ready design and engineering support.
Operating like an internal partner, without the lengthy ramp-up time or overhead, delivering world-class output with clarity and collaboration.
Low-Ramp, High Collaboration
Whether you are advancing a critical product, pushing toward a design freeze, or exploring new concepts under a corporate innovation initiative, we integrate seamlessly with your systems, disciplines, tools, and people.
Cross-Functional Fluency
Discover
Engaging the right people, the right way, at the right time to avoid developing the wrong product. Understanding users, markets, and opportunity spaces shape and define the Voice of Customer, providing a litmus against which to evaluate during development.
User and stakeholder interviews * Ethnographic research * Competitive benchmarking * Customer journey mapping * Innovative workshops
Define
Synthesizing insights into a focused product vision and a set of design targets clear understanding of the problems to solve, gaps to fill, and expectations to meet supporting product success in the market.
Opportunity framing * Problem / Solution alignment * Product strategy * Feature prioritization * Requirements definition
Ideate & Iterate
Creating experiences and tangible solutions through iterative design and evaluation loops help identify features and attributes that deliver the highest impact and user benefit.
UX/UI design * Industrial design * Information architecture * Interaction models & flows * Design language systems * In-house prototyping * Design validation testing (form, fit, function)
Develop
Engineering design and development with iterative prototyping and refinement enable us to achieve effective DFM / DFA approaches, develop tooling strategies, confirm performance, and evaluate costs.
CAD development * Mechanical design * Design for manufacturing (DFM) * Vendor collaboration * Tooling strategy development * BOM generation * Looks-like / Works-like prototyping * Usability and ergonomic testing
Transfer to Manufacturing
Launch support and production readiness to manage and maintain product quality, tolerances, and performance characteristics throughout the tooling build.
Final design refinement * Design transfer documentation * BOM development & sourcing coordination * Manufacturing handoff * Pilot run feedback loops * Post-Launch design support
Prototype
In-house prototyping enables rapid form and functional development for evaluation and evolution.
Breadboard proof of function models * Form-study models * In-house SLA, FDM * Casting of multiples * Proof of mechanism design * Metal fabrication
