About us

Our team of imaginative thinkers have expertise and experience across multiple disciplines. Working in a creative environment, we design solutions for consumer products, furniture, retail displays and toys. We generate original concepts with commercial success as a key objective.

We focus on user experience and human emotion as a core for the creative process, exploiting the emotional relationship between the user and product. We implement your brand identity and understand good design should be a reflection of your brand and its values.

We aim to harness the potential of an idea. Idea generation and sketching techniques help us find innovative solutions to complex problems quickly and efficiently. We then bring them to life by producing photo realistic visuals and 3D printed prototypes.

Lord Design can take an idea from sketch to manufacture data. This is because we understand manufacture and consider how the design can be made from the moment it is conceived. We therefore maintain control throughout the process ensuring the outcome is true to the design intent.

Our knowledge of manufacture helps us value engineer from the beginning ensuring we meet your budget. Good design should provide a cost effective solution as well as a tool to engage with your customers.
