ELEVATING BOLD IDEAS WITH PRECISION

At FPD we know the importance of adaptability to meet changing project demands. That is why we use the 6 Principles of Lean Product Development throughout the design process to bring your project to life.

We minimize waste to support your long-term financial success.

Our engineers are also Lean Production trained and 6-sigma green belts to make the transfer to manufacturing smooth. You are free to use FPD for production, or we can help you identify the perfect partner. We won’t throw it over the wall when the design is done either.

We are here to support you and your business as long as you need us.

Talk Is Cheap, So Here’s How We Do It…

WITH SOME REAL LIFE EXAMPLES

REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT & CONCEPT DESIGN

Humans are at the center of every successful product. They buy your product, they use your product. We perform Voice of Customer activities including Usability Testing, Persona Development, and Experience Maps, to understand and optimize appeal to your target market. We can get to User Needs and Engineering Requirements fast. Using rapid prototyping methods, we can generate a conceptual design in days or weeks that you and your customers will love.

ENGINEERING & FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPING

A product has to not only look good, it has to work. Here at FPD we use our talented engineers and fully equipped prototype shop to get you what you need fast. Our engineers are Solidworks Certified. We are an FDA and SAM-registered small business with a lean and mean quality system. With our extensive network of partners, we can fast-track your development. After all, time to market matters.

VERIFICATION & VALIDATION TESTING

At Flying Pig Designs, we rely on a time-tested, fast, flexible, fun, iterative approach to product development. We communicate, prototype, and test every step of the way, which means more creative product design solutions from us, and a better overall product for you. Our goal is to get a high-quality, fully functional product to market as quickly as possible.

MANUFACTURING TRANSITION

We are more than just product designers, engineers, and managers. Our team is skilled at executing product line setup, equipment validation, and manufacturing documentation to help transition the process smoothly. With our extensive network of highly-qualified and experienced vendors, if we can’t build it in-house, we know someone who can.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Someone you trust will manage your project every step of the way. Our clients have a dedicated point of contact throughout the process who will provide regular project status updates, track spending, and review open action items. Communication is key, which is why we keep in touch at least once a week so that there are no surprises.

YOUR PARTNER IN DESIGN INNOVATION

You need to know what you are paying for before you sign up. Nobody likes surprises. We know. We have been on the receiving end of low-ball estimates and cost overruns too. That is why we provide a transparent and detailed work breakdown as part of our estimate, which we typically deliver in 1-2 days. Our flexible, fixed-price billing options work within any budget. We are here to be your long-term product development partner.

WE START WORK WITH CLIENTS IN 3 EASY STEPS:

1 – SCHEDULE A FREE PRODUCT REVIEW

First, we assess where you are, what is left to do, and review our findings with you.

2 – GET YOUR CUSTOM PLAN

Then, we put together a detailed plan for you and answer any questions you have.

Finally, if you decide to move forward, we collaborate to execute that plan.
