I’m unbelievably grateful to Hellen and D2M for everything they’ve done to make my idea a reality.
I don’t have a background in design and this is my first business, so knowing where to start was incredibly daunting. Fortunately I stumbled across D2M, and they put me at ease straight away. From the initial consultation call it was clear that Hellen understood my idea. We sent a few rough sketches but the design Hellen created exceeded my expectations. Not only did D2M help me design my product, they also designed my logo, sourced the materials, created a manufacturing spec sheet and SO MUCH MORE. They even sourced a factory for me.
Every stage was done at my own pace, they didn’t expect an unattainable lump sum up front which allowed me to progress at a comfortable speed.
After almost 2 years, yesterday we launched our website.
I’m unbelievably proud to call BarkPack my product, and I can’t thank Hellen and D2M enough.
Our website is www.barkproducts.co.uk if you’d like to see the finished product.

Specialist prototyping services in Hertfordshire
Prototypes serve several crucial purposes in product development. Primarily, they validate the functionality and viability of your idea, ensuring it works effectively in practice. This step is essential to demonstrate not only that your concept functions as intended but also meets the necessary performance standards.
Prototypes translate your design into a tangible product, highlighting any practical challenges or design flaws early on. They provide valuable insights into refining the product’s design to better align with its intended purpose and user needs.
Additionally, prototypes add significant value by showcasing your product’s potential impact and generating interest among stakeholders and potential customers. This tangible representation helps secure manufacturing contracts and partnerships by proving the concept’s feasibility and market demand.
We offer advanced 3D printing and rapid prototyping services, catering from initial concept mock-ups to high-fidelity prototypes. Our capabilities span prototypes tailored for user testing, market research, and marketing purposes, including market-ready prototypes for promotional materials and online platforms.

We engaged with the team at D2M in the capacity of an innovation consultant to assist us with product development in line with our business continuous improvement plan. The approach from D2M has been incredibly professional and well structured. The team gained a firm understanding of our brief, and have been able to use their knowledge and professionalism to provide practical solutions to our design and development challenges.

Absolutely loved working with Phil and Alistair. They were given a particularly challenging project for which they had very little time to turn around a fully functional prototype. Alistair kept us informed with regular check ins without prompt from ourselves. The team at D2M are genuinely the best product design team we have worked with as they are super intelligent, resourceful and put their clients above everything else. Thank you very much for the work so far and stunning prototype! We look forward to continuing our relationship with yourselves for all future work. Thanks for all your hard work guys.

Massive kudos to Phil and his team and very fortunate to have engaged with them in designing an immaculate and aesthetically pleasing product.
We also tasked them with a design challenge to ensure our product could meet product safety standard. After a few weeks of concept design and review. We ship our product to them in which they completion in a timely fashion.
The area of concern resolved by D2M was not mentioned or flagged in the product safety report. Job well done and very happy with the rest.
Thank you D2M for the brilliant work.
Here is to many more project(s) in future.

Phil and D2M are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a product design company.
From the beginning, Phil's passion and expertise came through when deciding on a partner, and he was clearly our first choice to move the project forward. It was the right decision. Phil and his team quickly understood our idea, helped develop the concept, and designed something that would be commercially viable and innovative.
Phil has been extremely reliable and a brilliant partner to work with, continually going over and above expectations.
We will continue to work with Phil and look forward to taking our concept forward to the next stage with D2M.
