Design consulting
What to improve in your product before investing further? Our design consulting helps you find out
In a one-hour video call, our design consulting team will review your concept, prototype, or existing product. We’ll help you improve usability and appeal, choose materials, colors, and finishes (CMF), and explore ways to simplify production.
How it works:
We developed and launched many physical products, you can see our cases on this page.
AI can now help create an image or a 3D model. Our design consulting service helps turn concepts into viable products — with ergonomics, use cases, manufacturability, and patentability in mind. Often, it turns out the concept needs more work because AI missed something.
Another common situation: you already have a design partner. That’s great — but sometimes you need a second opinion. It usually makes the project much stronger. We’re happy to provide one.
- We meet on a 20-minute intro call to get to know each other. You outline your goals.
- We sign an NDA with you.
- You send us project information (if you have any).
- We review it (about 1 hour). If there’s a lot of information, we’ll adjust the time and cost and let you know in advance.
- We agree on a time to discuss it and provide recommendations.

How a design review helped reduce the production budget by 25%
In a one-hour video call, our design consulting team will review your concept, prototype, or existing product. We’ll help you improve usability and appeal, choose materials, colors, and finishes (CMF), and explore ways to simplify production.
A real-world example: a client had developed a product on their own but wasn’t too happy with how it looked. Over two calls and five hours of work in between, we refined the product’s proportions and proposed three design options. At the same time, we simplified the design — without sacrificing quality — and reduced the number of molds. This led to significant savings in future production costs.
The client then engaged us to develop the prototype and prepare the product for production.

If you have an idea but are not sure where to start, consulting can be the first step. You may have:
- an existing concept that needs a technical or design review;
- a prototype that needs improvement before further development;
- a product that is too expensive or difficult to manufacture;
- several possible technologies or design directions and need help choosing between them;
- an existing product that needs to be improved, updated, or prepared for a new version (redesigned);
- a startup preparing a product for development, or a team that needs to validate a product concept and prepare a pitch for investors.
The scope depends on the product and the questions you need answered. It may include:
- Design and concept review
- Ergonomics and user experience
- Prototyping technologies
- Manufacturing methods, materials, and production costs
- Technical feasibility and DFM analysis
- Packaging review and recommendations
- Recommendations for further development
You get a clear assessment of your product, the key issues to address, and recommended next steps. Depending on the project, this may be delivered as a report with annotated visuals, technical comments, technology comparisons, or a development plan.
Send us whatever you already have (sketches, CAD files, renders, photos of prototypes, technical documentation, research, specifications, or development plans). But you don't need to prepare anything in advance. Just contact us and tell us about your product.
