What we do
We offer a range of skills and capabilities to help our clients achieve the results they need. We adopt a flexible approach to each project so that we can do the best work for each client. Some projects may be a relatively straight forward pack shot render, based on previous work. Others may be entirely new and require a number of stages of work to create an appropriate response to the client's need
Observe / Listen
The most important part of a design process is to listen and learn about user needs. What are the real problems and opportunities that are presented in this project? What insights can we discover that will guide our design process? We love to work with everyone involved in a project including marketing, manufacture, service technicians, end customers and sales to really understand the brief.
Design / Sketch / Define
We use sketching to explore and communicate ideas. This is a very cost-effective tool to work through the challenges and opportunities that each project presents. We may also use elements of 2D/3D CAD or drawings to quickly understand the parameters of a project.
Soft Model / Explore
Soft models enable fast iteration of ideas and validation of design decisions. They allow the design team and client to build confidence and belief in the way ahead. They can also be useful in early discussions with suppliers and partners.
2D graphic design / layout
2D design skills are used to create graphics, textures, brand assets and lots of other essential things in a project. We have extensive experience with standard industry leading tools to create 2D content and are always learning new things
3D CAD modelling
Our experienced team of product designers has been using CAD tools for 25 years. We create 3D assets to explore, define, and control design intent for both prototypes and production.
​
We work with you to source the right partners to take your project forward. We work closely with the supply chain to ensure the best outcome for our clients.
Prototype
There are many production methods in a range of materials (resins, powders, filaments etc) to allow the production of parts in hours rather than days. This is done to prove that concepts are valid and meet the objectives set out in the brief. We have worked with a whole range of suppliers, materials and processes and can support clients to source these services.

Rendering HQ Images
We use the latest software tools to create photo realistic imagery to enable our clients to market their products effectively. We have invested in dedicated hardware and software to enable rapid turnaround of images for our customers.
Product Animation
We have created some basic product animation sequences for a number of projects. This is time consuming by its nature and we are continually developing our offer in this area to improve our skill set and turnaround time.
One (small) size does not fit all
We don't have a rigid or fixed process that we adhere to in every case. Each project is unique and we always do our best to do the right things for each piece of work - whatever fits your needs best.
