Highlights from Recent Projects
Mako Design + Invent recently completed a project with Clasp Magic, a product designed to provide a complete solution for clasp bracelet attachment. Mako Design + Invent provided design, prototyping, and assistance with patents, as well as connections to find a manufacturer. The project resulted in a final working prototype that impressed outside retailers and led to meetings with potential suppliers. The client's positive experience with the manufacturer, facilitated by Mako Design + Invent, helped her gain confidence in entering a contract for her first production run.
Another project completed by Mako Design + Invent was with CNCT Coolers, Inc., a company that sells a premium performing hard cooler custom designed for unique Tesla storage spaces. The project involved Design Engineer Manufacturing Consulting and resulted in a design that met the client's budget and manufacturing needs. The client praised Mako Design + Invent's great communication, well-documented process, and willingness to work with a startup idea. However, they suggested that the company could improve by communicating the work performed in sourcing a manufacturing company more effectively.
