Welcome to Design 1st
We are one of Canada’s largest independent teams specialized in physical product design and engineering.
We help companies with technically challenging product and process design engineering challenges.
We help innovators turn a napkin sketch idea into an engaging and useful product solution that meets market, business and manufacturing requirements.
People react positively to products that are designed for ease of installation, maintenance and are straight forward to understand and use. Our team custom designs and engineers each of the many parts required in a new product.
We design products for indoor and extreme outdoor environments considering heat, stress, motion, safety and materials. The designers help you determine engaging forms, color, textures, finishes and how you will package, label and brand the new product to differentiate it from your competition.
You set objectives and our integrated team designs the details, prototypes and evaluates the solution to see how well it meets the target requirements. Our history has a strong track record of success across a wide variety of product industries. Companies ask our help on Enclosures, Structures, Mechanisms and Unique Product Packaging as well as Quick Concepts and Marketing Images.
Our Client requests range from time-critical one-off demonstration prototypes to mass produced product that require revision-control and design transfer into global manufacturing teams.
Call Us and find out how we can fit into your existing team and help with your next breakout innovation. Kevin Bailey, President
