About Us
North Product Design provides the skills and expertise needed to bring your ideas to market, grow your business and enhance your brand's reputation.
We’ve worked with all different types of businesses, from exciting new startups to internationally recognised brands, but our approach and goals always remain the same – to deliver innovative design that generates profit.
With offices in Manchester and London, we can service your design requirements, no matter where you’re based.
We judge our success by the growth of our client’s businesses, not by the number of awards we have won.
Our Process
We are constantly evolving our design process to ensure better results for our client’s projects. Our four stage process delivers consistent success and breaks down complex projects into manage packages of work.

Our designers will work with you and your business to understand your existing product roadmap, existing markets and competitor analysis, with the intention of highlighting a gap in the market that we can assist you in exploiting through design innovation and a defined product direction.

Define
Once the product direction is agreed, we work with you to define a clear Product Specification, including key characteristics, important and essential features as well as aspirational targets for the look and feel of the product. We will also take into account any design or manufacturing standards, target commercials and expected project lead-times.

Develop
From the Product Specification, our team will explore as many design directions and concepts as possible, developing sketches, basic 3D modelling and sometimes crude prototyping. This wide variety of ideas are then used to define the preferred concept direction before moving on to the next stage.

Deliver
Once the concept direction is agreed, our designers and engineers will further refine the chosen concept, developing detailed 3D models, refined prototyping and life-like visual mock-ups, along with technical specifications needed to open discussions with potential manufacturing partners.
Our goal is to ensure you have everything needed to bring your product to market.
