Frequently Asked Questions
How much does industrial design cost?
Investment varies based on project scope and complexity. Most projects range from concept development ($2,000-$6,000) to complete product development ($10,000-$30,000+). During your discovery call, we’ll provide transparent pricing tailored to your specific needs – no billing surprises.
How long does the product development process take?
Most projects take 3-9 months from concept to manufacturing-ready designs. Timeline depends on complexity, revisions, and whether you’re an entrepreneur starting from scratch or an established manufacturer refining an existing product line. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during discovery.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. All projects are protected by non-disclosure agreements. We understand the importance of protecting your intellectual property and ideas. Request our NDA form before discussing your project details.
What if I'm not sure my product idea will work?
That’s exactly what our Product Development Consultation is for. We validate market potential, research competitors, and assess manufacturing feasibility before you invest heavily. Better to know early than discover problems after you’ve spent serious money.
Can you help with just one part of the process?
Absolutely. Some clients need only market research. Others want design concepts but have in-house engineering. We’re flexible and work with you on the specific services you need – from consultation to complete product development.
Do you work with startups or only established companies?
Both. We work with entrepreneurs who have product ideas and need validation, as well as established manufacturers looking to innovate their product lines. Our process adapts to where you are in your journey.
What happens to my intellectual property?
Your IP belongs to you. We can guide you through the patent process and connect you with patent attorneys, but the designs and innovations we create for you are yours to own and commercialize.
Can you connect me with manufacturers?
Yes. We have relationships with factories and can guide you through manufacturing partner selection. We stay involved through production to ensure what gets manufactured matches what we designed.
