Challenges building
a physical product

Creating your next product

Without an engineering background, seeing a clear path to bringing your physical product design or product idea to life can be challenging. Whether it’s a piece of furniture, a robot or plans for your next home - having a designer who can lead and collaborate with you is vital. Often product creators are stuck putting the pieces together between coming up with the idea, understanding how it will work and finding materials and manufacturers to make it.

What if you could have a partnership through this process? A designer who leads and helps you translate your product vision or invention into a reality.
