How do I start the development process?

In the first instance you would need to document your idea one way or another. You could either define it in writing, listing all the criteria you can think of. Equally, or even better, do some drawing or a sketch. Don’t hesitate, even if you think you cannot draw. The visualization will help you communicate your idea to us. Now, contact us! We would be happy for you to sound us out, bounce the idea off the Designbrand team, get some more food for thought, and get inspired. That is the start of the process of product development.
Depending where you are with your idea and how far it has evolved we can help you further with a catalogue of questions which will help you define how big the task of product development will be for your idea or product. You might well have something in production already. Do you want us to design the next generation of your product?
Once we know some detail about your idea or product, existing or new, we can give you initial feedback about industrial design or product development in general.  When the catalogue of questions has been answered, Designbrand would provide a design project proposal to show you all the steps of the development process. The design project proposal would give you a budget estimate, a time line, the different outcomes for presentations and other deliverables and answers to the most important question: What does it cost? If you would like to get an initial estimate as a first cost indication then fill out the online form!
You would then be well on your way with information to allow you educated decision making in the first stage of your product’s development. Contact us with your idea or requirements.
