How We Work
Ideate
Every project starts with an idea that’s pitched and refined as we try new technologies and gauge customer interest.
Co-create
Once ideas are ready for the next stage, we make prototypes to prove the technology and share with potential customers to get early feedback.
Make
Now it’s time to make it happen, as we bring a product through to launch—often through crowdfunding or small batch production.
