We approach projects as members of your team, beginning with a shared understanding of your project’s objectives and leveraging our collective expertise to create valuable intellectual property.

Our mission is to foster a collaborative partnership grounded in transparency and active communication, ensuring that every voice is valued.

Together with our combined network of trusted specialists, we strive to empower our clients to achieve product success by delivering innovative solutions that surpass expectations and create thoughtful user experiences.

“( . . . ) I’d like to commend Jamie on his enthusiasm and engagement during the project, from the outset he approached the task very positively, listened and acted on information given and took time to understand our requirements. From a technical viewpoint I found him to be a very competent engineer who takes sound technical decisions.”

A Phased Approach

At Stiff by Design, we adopt a phased approach to your project, structuring it into six distinct stage gates broken down by key deliverables. Each stage progresses only after obtaining sign-off from the agreed-upon stakeholders, ensuring clarity and alignment at every step.
