Problems We Solve

PROBLEM: I need a better understanding of my target customer.

OUR SOLUTION: We can synthesize market research, competitive and aspirational research, as well as trend reports specific to your target customer.

PROBLEM: You're looking to launch a new product line or brand and don’t have the headcount or capacity within your team.

OUR SOLUTION: We offer end-to-end design and product development from concept to production. We can make the process seamless and efficient.

PROBLEM: You have a design idea but don’t know how to bring it to life.

OUR SOLUTION: We use our trusted manufacturing partners to source and produce your product. We manage vendor communication and adhere to strict product development timelines.

PROBLEM: You’ve received customer feedback regarding the quality or fit of your current production.

OUR SOLUTION: We’ll evaluate your current production against the desired spec as well as perform a competitive analysis with industry brand standards to offer solutions for fit consistency & quality improvements.

PROBLEM: You work with your factories directly on product development, but don’t have access to tech packs.

OUR SOLUTION: We will build custom Tech Packs to streamline and maintain brand information in one system. This will allow you to source with other factories/vendors to compare cost and quality.
