25 Years, One Mission: How Responsibility and Trust Fuel Design Department's Success in New Product Development

"New Product Design is more than just features and specs—it’s about honoring commitments."
For over two decades, we at Design Department have witnessed firsthand how a foundation of trust and responsibility elevates every aspect of our work, particularly in the demanding field of new product development, including medical devices. Our 25-year journey has reinforced core beliefs that drive our mission to develop highly innovative products.
Core Beliefs That Drive Us:
Reliability Is Everything: We deliver on what we promise, period. Clients count on us to meet milestones without cutting corners, especially crucial in medical device development where precision and adherence to timelines are paramount. When problems arise, we communicate clearly and proactively offer potential solutions, not excuses. This unwavering reliability builds confidence and ensures projects stay on track.
Transparency Builds Trust: We believe in openly discussing design challenges early, whether they are regulatory hurdles, technical complexities, or budget constraints. While this directness can sometimes lead to uncomfortable moments initially, this transparency fosters stronger, more resilient partnerships in the long run. Our clients trust us to provide an honest assessment and work collaboratively to find the best path forward for their new product design.
Long-Term Mindset: At Design Department, we don’t chase quick wins. Instead, we focus on nurturing enduring relationships with our clients. We want our clients to have the confidence that we are a trusted partner, here to help with their next big new product development challenge. This long-term mindset ensures consistent support and a deep understanding of their evolving needs, especially in the continuous innovation cycle of medtech.
Real-World Impact: Our commitment to these beliefs translates directly into tangible results. We recently helped a client launch a new medical device ahead of schedule because our team was able to come on board and quickly resolve several known issues, as well as identify and address a number of critical problems that were "hiding in the shadows." This ability to deliver real-world impact by anticipating and solving complex challenges is a hallmark of our approach.
