DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Product design development services are the core of Shea+Latone. We are driven to conceive well thought out ideas that can be developed into purposeful and successful products. We offer you creative and innovative product designs while being grounded by real world variables such as your specific goals, budget, and timing.
This is accomplished through our proven five phase product design development process. We recognize each project has its own set of unique circumstances. Therefore, we will tailor this process to your individual project. Shea+Latone can provide consulting expertise in the entire process shown, or any subset of it as a standalone service.
With our broad range of product design development services, we can take your toughest product challenges from concept all the way to mass-production. Shea+Latone’s philosophy in product development is that nothing is real until it is made and tested. Our in-house prototype shop and ISO Certified testing lab allow us to quickly verify design iterations. The unique combination of design and engineering know-how, prototyping expertise, and testing services makes our product development process efficient, reliable, and cost-effective.
We look forward to collaborating with you on your next project. Contact us to learn more about our product design and development services.
