D2M Innovation | Product Design Company

D2M Innovation | Product Design Company was hired by a Research and Consultancy Manager at De Montfort University, Leicester, to work on a childcare research project that was part of a Research England funded programme. Although the details of the project are confidential, D2M were selected through a scoring system during the tender process, and their proposal stood out for its clarity and thoroughness. The team from D2M consisted of the Managing Director, two senior designers, and a textile expert.

In the second project, D2M was contracted by an independent inventor to develop a replacement for the traditional toilet brush, the "Shiffter". D2M's responsibilities included creating design concepts, prototyping, calculating manufacturing costs, and drawing up designs for patent applications. The project progressed from conceptualization to design, during which a 3D printed prototype was created. The D2M team for this project included the Managing Director, a product designer, and a project manager.

A manufacturing startup hired D2M for a third project, which involved the development of a family of products based on their patents. D2M was chosen for their skill set, relevant industry experience, and the rapport they established with the client. Their work spanned from conceptualization to prototyping and manufacturing, with the addition of marketing insights. The D2M team consisted of four individuals, including the principal, specialist product designers, and administrative and support personnel.
