My name is Scott Stevens and I design desirable, high-value products for companies that are ready to shake up their industry or leave it behind.
I only take on projects that will benefit from my team's expertise as an award-winning, industrial designer. I have applied my process to commercial products, aviation interiors, and consumer goods supporting startups and market leaders. If needed, I can add capabilities from my network of researchers, designers, and engineers.
Below you will learn about the advantages I provide my clients, images of past successes, three types of design services I offer, testimonials, and the brands I have supported.

We are an ideas company that focuses on the product experience, the psychological impact on the user, and your business goals. We use visual storytelling to communicate the value of your product.

Ideal experiences based on your user groups are identified and applied to your product. Storyboards visualize the ideal experience and the necessary feature set of the product. Read our article about this approach!
Low-value features are removed. New features are identified that separate your product from the competition with minimal impact on the product cost. Create a new value-cost midset.
Do the opposite of your competition and make it appropriate and necessary. Create new pathways to success. Read our article to learn about companies that have used this technique.
Offer your users an experience that creates an emotional connection. Get people talking about your products and your company.
Psychological Framework
There are times when users need a psychological solution. Take the map on the Uber app that shows the real-time position of the driver. It is not necessary, but it creates certainty to relieve anxiousness. The user never has to wonder. It's fantastic.
We created a psychological framework of 6 emotional attributes to evaluate our designs and identify opportunities and solutions for your product.
