Design 1st is a 30-person team of Designers, Engineers and Manufacturing specialists.

We work with Start-ups, Growth Companies, and Enterprises in North America and globally. We help executive teams develop physical product ideas into working products.

We identify and assess various risks with your idea and then develop exciting designs and robust engineering solutions. A unique differentiator is our manufacturing network if you do not have your supply strategy in place.

Our fee-for-service model starts with budget estimates, monthly invoicing, and progress reporting. The projects we work on have budgets starting around $20,000.

First, we need 3 quick questions answered to help us get acquainted...

Clients' Experiences

"When I started looking for a design group, I knew that our products needed a broad base of experience. When I went through all the products that Design 1st had brought to market, a lots of them had something that we needed

I knew they had the skill sets that needed. When I met them, it felt like we were a part of the family. They were also hones and transparent"

Kurt Francis

CTO, Molecule

"If it weren't for Design 1st, the project would’ve been delayed. Prior to our engagement, the project dragged for two years.

Once Design 1st came on board, we had weekly meetings to make sure the project was on schedule. Their team was on task. They also pushed us for information to ensure their team met benchmarks. "

John Lupton

CEO, GeoSight
