WHAT We ACTUALLY DO

We handle the full pre-manufacturing design cycle. The part that determines whether your product has a future or just a  3D-CAD file.

Market Benchmarking

Competitive landscape mapped before a single concept is drawn. You know exactly where the gap is.

User-Centric Product Design

Design decisions backed by real user needs — not aesthetic trends or founder gut feel.

CMF Strategy

Color, material, finish — defined with intention. This is what makes your product feel premium or average.

Structural Design (DFM & DFA)

Geometry and architecture locked in. Ready to hand off to engineering without rework surprises.

Rendering & Class A Surfacing

Photorealistic renders and production-grade Class A surfaces. What investors, retailers, and engineers actually need to see.

IP ownership — yours, entirely

All intellectual property transfers to you at delivery. We retain authorship credit only. No licensing clauses, no usage restrictions, no fine print.

How an engagement works
01

NDA + Contract

We sign before anything is shared. IP is yours. Work begins with 50% down — no ambiguity, no "we'll figure it out later."

02

31–40 working days of real work

Benchmarking, user insights, concept development, CMF, structural refinement. You're involved at the right moments — not buried in weekly status emails.

03

Engineering alignment

In the final 2-4 working days, we work directly with your engineering team in a focused back-and-forth to tighten every detail against DFM and prototyping constraints. No handoff surprises. Just a clean transfer your engineers can act on immediately.

04

Delivery + final payment

Full handoff package. 50% balance on delivery. What you receive is ready for your engineering team to act on — not a mood board.

WHO IS THIS FOR

Funded startups and serious bootstrapped teams.

Building hardware or physical products? Whether you're locking down the Chinese market or planning international expansion — we've worked with US and Chinese B2B clients navigating both, and the strategic difference between the two reflects well in every design decision we make.

We work with teams of any size, at any funding stage, as long as there's a real product and a real deadline.

We're not the right fit if you want indefinite iteration, a deck with no product yet, or scope renegotiation every two weeks.

BRANDS WE'VE WORKED WITH
miiōstudio

A bad design engagement
costs you a product launch.

Your product matters. The design work that defines it should be treated the same way.
Tell us what you're building — we'll tell you if we're the right fit. We take on a limited number of projects per year.
Not because it sounds exclusive. Because diluted attention produces diluted results.

We respond within 48 hours. No cold pitches. If you're here, you already know what you need.
