Story
D2M Product Design was founded to give businesses a clear, commercially focused route from idea to market. Too many design agencies stop at the concept stage – we’re here to go further.
Since 2010, we’ve supported clients with everything from early-stage strategy and market insight to, product design, product prototyping, sourcing, manufacturing preparation and intellectual property protection.
Previously known as Design 2 Market, we’ve refined our brand to better reflect our focus on developing physical products that succeed in the real world.
Launching our own product ranges has provided first-hand insight into the commercial realities our clients face, from development challenges to retail partnerships and investor expectations.
To date, we’ve helped develop over 1,600 products, generating more than £92 million in commercial value for our clients.
