Bring your wildest ideas to life.
Designing & engineering outdoor gear, together.
Outdoor gear built better.
When it comes to designing for the outdoors, we look to nature for design solutions, implementing biomorphic and biomimetic principles to create a product that promotes the earth’s aesthetic while supporting the environment.
Inventing something from scratch is no small feat.
As an outdoor product design firm, Exhaled Builds helps outdoor enthusiasts — from ambitious individuals to known outdoor brands—research, conceptualize, and engineer their next brilliant idea.
