    SHOUT!

    Designed with a detachable backpack that doubled as an endcap, the corrugated SHOUT! Display did wonders selling MCI calling cards to parents. It also scored a Gold POPAI Indian.

  • OLIVE PICK!

    Tired of wearing more martinis than we sipped, we designed an immovable olive pick for fun. It’s a lot more fun when garnishes and drinks stay in the glass, that’s for sure.

  • Birdhouse

    Not quite for the birds, we designed a countertop “birdhouse” with “perches” that hold a new line of snappy gift tags for Sass Mouth Cards.

  • Tillamook

    Rich with heritage, not to mention ice cream, the Tillamook gift shop needed some local refreshing. So we infused elements of Tillamook the place with Tillamook the brand and gave their store a new look.

    Backroom System

    Ever try to find a sign in the backroom of a retail store? We know how it is in there. That’s why we were asked to design a system to organize and manage signage. Sketching on a napkin is how it usually starts, then we render the design in three dimensions using Solidworks.

  • Sandplay International

    Plastic beach toys are no match for building sandcastles. Sandplay International envisioned beach tools designed to last a lifetime, not five minutes. Looking to sea creatures for inspiration, we modeled tools after stingrays, lobsters and clams. Beautiful and indestructible, without the sting.

We are an industrial design firm that designs for reality. The realities of shipping costs. The realities of short lead times. And the reality that designs should work. Sure, we love cool designs. But we don’t design for the sake of design. We do fit budget to design and generate designs that can actually be manufactured.

Bring us your problems. We take on ideas that need a shape, production wrinkles that need ironing, marketing strategies that need building and existing designs that need tweaking. Our consulting services include SolidWorks (Brian is a Certified SolidWorks Associate), marketing services and creative (Jacki is an award-winning copywriter) and project management (You get both Brian and Jacki for this one.)

What we do:
  • Translate brands to spaces via retail furniture, surfaces and displays
  • Attract customers with the display, awe them with the product
  • Find efficiencies in design and speed products to market
