Whether you need a one off project, or ongoing support for your engineering team, we can help.

We work in close collaboration with you through every step of the process and keep you up to date with regular project check-ins.

Designing everything under one roof is a great way to save time through improved efficiency.

  • From early discovery workshops to fully-rendered visual concepts, we work closely with you to define and shape your product vision, and bring it to life through a clear, creative, and structured process.

    Whether you're starting with a rough idea or a detailed brief, our team guides you through the early stages of product development with a blend of technical insight and design thinking. We translate ideas into solid concepts that communicate not just what a product is, but what it could be.

    Our approach includes:

    • Discovery & Ideation – We explore opportunities, user needs, and market context to realise meaningful directions.

    • Sketching, Storyboarding, and 3D Visualisation – We move quickly from early concept exploration and collaborative planning into digital sketching and 3D modelling; rapidly exploring form, interaction, and user experience.

    • Product Definition and Feature Mapping – Together, we define the functionality, structure, and core features that make the product valuable and manufacturable.

    • High-quality Renders and Motion Design – We produce visual assets that clearly communicate the product’s design intent, usability, and appeal; ideal for stakeholder buy-in, marketing, or further development.

    With a studio in Amsterdam and partnerships around the world, we bring both local craft and global perspective to every project; across industries, technologies, and stages of development.

  • We dive deep to build a solid foundation for your product; combining technical research, user insight, and real-world constraints to ensure your idea is both viable and valuable.

    At this stage, we focus on uncovering what your product needs to succeed, not just functionally, but also in the market, with users, and in manufacturing. By grounding our work in real data and practical considerations, we help reduce risk and shape a smarter path to development.

    This process includes:

    • Development of Core Technology – We explore and define the underlying technologies needed for your product, from embedded electronics to mechanical systems and connectivity.

    • Competitor and Market Research – We study what already exists, what works, and where gaps and opportunities lie — helping you position your product with clarity and confidence.

    • User Insight Gathering – Through interviews, observations, and feedback loops, we understand how people will interact with your product, and what they truly need from it.

    • Material and Process Definition – We assess production methods, materials, and supply chain factors to align your product’s design with feasible, scalable manufacturing from the start.

    By bridging strategic thinking with deep technical knowledge, we help set the stage for a product that’s not just innovative, but achievable.

  • We prototype to validate, not just visualise; turning ideas into working models that can be tested, refined, and experienced in the real world.

    Prototyping is a core part of our process, helping us move quickly from concept to reality. It’s not just about aesthetics, it's about function, feel, and feasibility. By building and testing early, we reduce uncertainty, uncover opportunities, and accelerate development with real, hands-on feedback.

    Our prototyping capabilities include:

    High-Fidelity Prototypes – Visually and functionally accurate models that reflect the final product experience, used for usability testing, design refinement, and communication.

    Minimum Viable Products & Test Units – Early-stage versions with core functionality that allow teams to gather feedback, test assumptions, and iterate efficiently.

    In-House 3D Printing, Assembly, and Electronics – Rapid production of mechanical and electronic components within our studio allows us to move fast and stay flexible.

    Presentation-Ready Prototypes for Stakeholder Buy-In – Tangible, working models that clearly show how a product will look and behave, ideal for presenting to investors, partners, or internal teams.

    From quick-turn mockups to robust working systems, our prototyping approach helps you learn fast and move forward with confidence.

  • We develop integrated hardware systems with a focus on usability, reliability, and manufacturability; building solutions that not only work, but work well in the real world.

    Our approach combines thoughtful design with deep engineering to ensure every product we develop is robust, intuitive, and ready for scale. We work closely with clients through each stage of development, aligning functionality with user needs and production requirements.

    Our capabilities include:

    • Iterative Design & Testing – We refine concepts through continuous cycles of prototyping, testing, and improvement, ensuring that every design decision is grounded in performance and usability.

    • Microcontrollers, Automation, and Sensor Integration – From embedded systems to smart sensing and control, we develop the core electronics that bring your product to life.

    • Colour, Material & Finish Selection – We balance technical requirements with aesthetics and user experience to create products that feel as good as they function.

    • CAD and Engineering Support Throughout – Our team provides detailed CAD development, mechanical design, and engineering support to ensure your product is ready for prototyping and production.

    Whether it’s a one-off prototype or a production-ready system, we build integrated hardware that’s thoughtful, reliable, and engineered for the real world.

  • Many of our projects combine electronics with custom mechanical solutions; creating complete, integrated systems from the ground up.

    We specialise in bridging the gap between digital intelligence and physical form. Whether it’s a smart device, a connected tool, or a precision piece of hardware, we bring together electronics and mechanical engineering to deliver tightly integrated products that are refined, functional and manufacturable.

    Our capabilities include:

    • PCB Design & Firmware Development – From circuit layout to embedded code, we design reliable, custom electronics tailored to your product’s needs.
