About

We are a team of industrial designers who believe great design is the result of insightful user understanding, commitment to innovation, stellar form development and creative design strategy. We take a collaborative approach with our clients, and seek a deep understanding of their business and their customers.

Since 2007, we’ve shared an office with our engineering partner, Enginuity Works. This collaboration enables us to deliver innovative and robust solutions from initial concepts through to production.
