For over twelve years, we’ve had one focus: building physical products that deserve to exist.

We’re an award-winning product design and development consultancy: a multidisciplinary team across industrial design, electronics, and manufacturing, working with startups and established companies, from first concept to mass production. We don’t do next season’s style or colour. We create products that bring about change.

Partnering with Pioneers

“npd exceeded all expectations — delivering a fast, cost-effective and high-quality solution. Their innovation pushed the design beyond what we had originally envisioned.”
Robbie Watkinson, Typhoon Product Strategy, BAE Systems
“We came to npd early with technology but no product. What followed was years of genuine collaboration — challenging our assumptions and finding smarter ways to package and manufacture.”
Simon Patterson, MultiSource Power
“npd bought into our vision from day one and pushed to create a product we are all really proud of. The end result is already changing lives.”
Chris Kavanagh, thinAir

What we do

We work across the full product lifecycle – whether you’re starting from a sketch on a napkin or you’re stuck halfway through a build that isn’t working.

01. Define & Direct

You have a problem to solve, not yet a product. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already sitting on a prototype that isn’t quite right, we define what that product should be – how it looks, how it works, what it’s made from, and how it can actually be manufactured. Every direction we set has commercial reality built in from day one, not bolted on afterwards.

02. Build & Engineer

Industrial design and electronic design across mechanical, electronics, and firmware, with in-house rapid prototyping to test and validate as we go. We design for manufacture from the start – not as a problem for later.

03. Make & Launch

We manage manufacturing partner selection, tooling, certification, and production coordination through to launch. A great product still needs a story people notice – so we also build the brand around it: product aesthetics, packaging, brand identity, and the storytelling that goes with it. Same team, same understanding of the product, from first sketch to launch.
