Product design isn’t about making things, it’s about shaping how things connect with people.

Your users range from seasoned experts to those discovering your world for the first time. Sophisticated design and flawless functionality earn the trust of core users. But great products do more—they create that irresistible pull that makes people reach out instinctively, offering gateway experiences that welcome newcomers into entirely new worlds.

This is why we at NOSIGNER work with dual mindsets. We’re meticulous professionals who craft refined products through rigorous prototyping. Yet we also keep the curiosity and enthusiasm of beginners, ensuring we create products that we ourselves find genuinely captivating. If it doesn’t move us, how can it move your users?

Today’s product design demands sustainability at its core. We integrate circular economy thinking and low-impact manufacturing throughout our process, supporting sustainable creation from both angles of design and production. This isn’t a constraint; it’s how responsible products earn their place in the world.

2

CONCEPT

Duration: 1-2 months

From research insights, we define where your brand should go and how to get there. We develop product concepts and design your SKU lineup, creating a roadmap for mid- to long-term growth. Everything is structured into clear proposals and strategic documents that guide your team forward.

DESIGN

Duration: 2 to 4 months

We shape your product’s form and specifications, then partner with manufacturers to bring prototypes to life. Through successive rounds of prototyping—first, second, third iterations—we refine every detail. This hands-on process of making, testing, and improving ensures your product reaches its full potential.

SCOPE OF WORK

  • Sketching
  • 3D Modeling
  • Material & Color Selection
  • Prototype Production
4

MANUFACTURING SUPPORT

 Duration: 2-3 months

We translate designs into production-ready specifications for mass manufacturing and distribution, while embedding sustainable processes and environmental considerations into every step. This ensures your products are both market-ready and responsibly made.

SCOPE OF WORK

  • Manufacturing Process Design (Materials & Methods)
  • Manufacturer & Producer Partnerships
  • Supply Chain Design

DESIGN CASES

Over time, I have come to redefine good design as the ability to create relationships between objects and users through form. Over time, I have come to redefine good design as the ability to create relationships between objects and users through form.
