USER RESEARCH

SD will perform field site visits, focus group analysis and anthropometric studies to learn user needs and wants for your product category.

AESTHETIC DEVELOPMENT

The aesthetic development of your product reflects your brand identity and satisfies the ergonomic and user needs.  Satisfying these objectives and developing the necessary proportions for a well designed product is always the goal.

PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

We offer prototype services of your parts to help you achieve your engineering and manufacturing objectives.

IDEATION

Designers analyze user data and marketing objectives while conceptualizing product ideas.  All concepts address the needs and wants of the user and satisfy the objectives of your brand identity.

        CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

        Our Carestream-Xtreme product was under a tremendously tight timeline.   We needed a design team that could satisfy our marketing goals, deliver a final design and generate a full scale appearance model for our upcoming trade show.  Steiner executed in the most professional and expedient manner delivering on time with a design that generated buzz for our newly launched animal lab X-Ray machine.

        As VP of new product development for Emhart (a Black and Decker Company), Mark and his team designed multiple hand tools and assembly line equipment for our group.  Their attention to product details through user research and ergonomic studies provided us with award winning hand tool design featured in BusinessWeek magazine and within our corporate Annual Report.  The Steiner team is a gold standard group.
        Robert S
        As a small start-up we had Steiner Design create an entire brand identity for our cable management product.  They delivered the industrial design, engineering, packaging and advertising graphics and worked closely with us to select a manufacturer for our YOKE product.  We could not have delivered a successful program without SD!
        Bill M
        At Innovation Associates, we are demanding of our outside vendors only working with competent people who deliver quality work on time and within budget.  Steiner Design is a hard working firm with the natural ability to blend ergonomics, aesthetic and engineering requirements into sound product design.  Our pill and tablet counter is an award winning design thanks to the hard work of SD designers.
