Where New Product Development & Psychology Meet

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

We help US and International hard goods, robotics, or mobility companies navigate the complexities of how humans perceive & behave to create high value, manufacturable solutions.


Our Shine® process creates clear product identities for your project, identifies latent opportunities, and translates your brand values and user expectations into physical product attributes.

Sleek, simple, and intuitive become shape, texture, and interaction.

Our designs have won industry awards and IP for our clients.

WHY WORK WITH US

People don't buy products. They purchase the experience they believe it creates for them.

We identify and design for what is significant to your users during the 3 phases of the user experience:​

Visceral - The initial visual reaction. How it looks and how it makes them feel.

Behavioral - The physical object and their interaction with it.

Reflective - The opinions that are created when thinking about the experience with your product. 

 

Imagine your user smiling while interacting with your solution. They appreciate the small details, feeling that you designed it just for them. They can't believe a company actually cares about their lives.​​​

WE TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF NPD

We prioritize clarity of goals and next steps, work with a sense of urgency, and deliver on time. 

 

We understand that finding the right design partner can eat up too much time and resources.

We've streamlined our proposal turnaround process.

Onboarding is fast and efficient. 

We use cross-functional questionnaires to quickly identify goals & challenges preventing misalignment and ensuring our deliverables hit the mark.

All update and deliverable meetings are scheduled immediately after kickoff. No last-minute scheduling delays.

 

We align our process and deliverables to your internal processes, saving you time and reducing stress throughout the project.

 

We involve your engineering team early to participate in research and influence our designs. This ensures we deliver designs that meet the manufacturing requirements.

 

We have internal processes to prevent oversights and misinterpretations.

Our Philosophy

We focus on the intangibles. The best products don't just solve problems, they understand people. While others focus purely on specs and features, we design for the human experience: the emotions, perceptions, and psychological forces that truly drive behavior and elevate you above your competition.

 

The value of a product isn't just in what it does, but in how it makes people feel, what it signals to those around them, and how they imagine their new life with your product.

Have confidence that your new product is not only manufacturable but also desirable and unique to your brand.

Designed for Reality

We deliver designs that capture user desires within your manufacturing and assembly constraints. Your engineering team influences the industrial design concepts early in the process, preventing costly delays and rework. We'll help support QC and any challenges that come up.

 

Our hand-off checklist ensures you get CAD that meets your specific requirements, along with clear supporting documentation.

We help bridge the gap between non-technical stakeholders and your team. We'll create supporting visuals for your team's solutions and defend against requests for impossible features. 

No vaporware & no manufacturable designs that create apathy.

Individual Projects

For clients who need to take one product through the development process.

Long Term SUBSCRIPTION

For clients who need long term design support on multiple projects throughout the year. Think of it as having an industrial designer on staff that can support any need that comes up.

Sprints &
Workshops

Short design activities to strengthen and inspire your internal teams.

Why work with us?

Find Opportunities

We reverse benchmark your competition to identify their blind spots so you can capitalize on what they can't see. 

Most likely, your competitors are relying only on logic to guide their projects, ignoring the desirable product experiences.

Perception is Reality

A product's value lives in the mind of the user. We learn about your users, their motivations, expectations, and how they perceive your brand.

 

This is translated into designed experiences that transform how people perceive and interact with your product.

Designed to be Manufactured

We collaborate with your team to understand your current and future capabilities and design within those constraints.

We design around your components, hard points, ergonomic constraints, and keep out zones.
