PRODUCT DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Creating for the love of the outdoors

Designing your product ideas that blend natural beauty and elemental durability.

Let’s learn from and design for our planet.

Nature is alluring by design. It captivates us with its astounding immensity, complexity, and vibrancy. Here at Exhaled Builds, we aim to mirror nature’s design choices in the products we create. This not only will organically compel us to look for a deeper understanding of the natural world, but will also bring a cascading effect around eco-friendly design, material choices, and manufacturing practices.

With our product design process, we will work together with you to create sketches and 3D models that best capture your ideas. At the end of this process, you will end up with a combination of:

A portfolio of initial sketches

Scaled 3D models

Product demo animations

A set of plans for manufacturing

A working prototype

Design Briefing

First, schedule a Design Briefing Meeting with us.

Upon meeting, we will start by gaining an in-depth understanding of your vision.

Together, we will define your objective, target audience, and timeline. We will create a product design plan that outlines our processes and how they have been tailored to meet your goals.

Review Plan & Estimate

We will provide you with a detailed estimate before starting any services.

This will describe all necessary work to meet your overall goals for your project, giving you clarity about what to expect from our team moving forward.

Product Exploration

Once you review your personalized design plan, we'll evaluate your idea. We'll talk through it in detail, laying out its overarching form and functions.

Our team will analyze any foreseeable challenges with the design, operation, and manufacturability, ensuring every aspect is considered to meet your budget and your target audience.

In creating a these necessary design constraints, we can translate your idea into sketches & 3D models for you to further explore and analyze together.

Product Refinement

At Exhaled Builds, we utilize computer engineering simulations, gather user feedback, and conduct extensive market research to better develop your product idea.

In this design for manufacturing phase, we make critical decisions about materials & potential impacts on the environment.

In doing so, we also iterate through various product details & branding choices. Take comfort in knowing that at Exhaled Builds, we leave no stone unturned in cultivating your ideal end product.

Product Deliverables

Having attained your design goals from the beginning, we can start on physical prototypes and creating marketing material.

With our vast array of industrial machinery, access to upcycled materials, and team of trained professionals, your idea begins to take form.

Once a final prototype is selected, we can also provide high quality renderings, animated product videos, manufacturing drawings, or product packaging to develop your product even further.

Congratulations — you are ready to share your product with all!
