B. Design Proposal

We meticulously plan each phase of the design process to ensure your product’s success. Here, we outline every step of the design journey.

Our Design Proposal maps out the process from concept to completion, ensuring a smooth journey from start to finish. We estimate timelines, identify key deliverables, and determine the resources needed to bring your vision to life. Key team members are brought into the process, creating a collaborative partnership at every stage. With a clear, detailed plan, we align expectations and keep the project on track, making sure every moment counts towards your product’s success. We'll provide you with a detailed PDF, so you can visualize the entire path to success and see exactly how we will bring your product to life.

Let's Start

Every remarkable product begins with a spark of imagination. Let’s turn your vision into reality and create something extraordinary together.

01. Discovery

This is where the magic begins. We dive deep into user research, journey mapping, and design workshops to uncover untapped opportunities. This sets the foundation for User-Centered Design—much like Apple, Disney, and Logitech, we prioritize understanding the user to craft exceptional experiences.

Some of the key Activities in Discovery:

Virtual Workshop: We'll explore your brand's personality, objectives, and desired user experiences, capturing insights that define how your product should feel and function.  

Journey Maps: We outline the ideal user experience, guiding every design detail from discovery to delivery.  

Design Principles: We establish guiding principles that act as a compass throughout the process, ensuring your product has a distinct personality and a clear direction.

Product Architecture: Using insights from journey mapping and design principles, we develop multiple product configurations and full-scale mock-ups to refine the design iteratively.

Visual Mood Boards: We create mood boards to envision the style and application of design principles on your product.

02. Concept Design

Let’s get creative! We begin with sketches, diagrams, and rapid prototypes to explore every idea. We’ll refine the best concepts and present them to you for feedback. Together, we’ll choose the most exciting direction to move forward.

Some of the key Activities in Concept Design:

Low-Fidelity Sketches: We brainstorm numerous potential designs, considering every aspect from functionality to manufacturing, installation, and marketing.  

Low-Fidelity Prototyping: Through 3D printing, we test scale and usability in real-world scenarios.

Concept Selection: We refine the strongest concept to move forward with, aligning it closely with the project’s goals.

Refined 3D Models: We take the selected concept further by crafting detailed 3D models, perfecting every aspect visually and structurally.

High-Quality Visuals: High-fidelity renderings that showcase materials, finishes, and all intricate details bring your product to life.

03. Selected Concept

We dive deep into the chosen concept, focusing on every detail from sustainability to materials, budget, and production feasibility. You’ll see your product come to life through a realistic 3D model, meticulously crafted to balance aesthetics and function.

04. Product Development

This is where we make your concept real. We finalize the 3D model, integrating your selected colors, materials, and finishes (CMF). Collaborating with engineers, we refine every component, ensuring a harmonious blend of form and function. We produce detailed CAD models and drawings to support smooth manufacturing, alongside realistic visualizations to validate every aspect.

05. Development follow-up

Our work doesn’t end at design. We provide ongoing support during production, coordinating with manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers to ensure your product is flawlessly executed. We’re here to keep everything on track, from the first prototype to the final product.
