people who design products.
Design with depth. Build with purpose.
We’re ANCORD Design Co, a product design studio rooted in sustainability, action sports, and real-world problem-solving. Since 2018, we’ve helped startups and global brands bring dozens of products to life — balancing clean aesthetics with smart engineering and sustainable thinking.
We design for performance, durability, and meaning. From helmets and hydration bottles to toothbrushes and medical tools, our work spans categories — but it’s always built around the same principles:
Listen closely. Design responsibly. Deliver what matters.
Our team brings together industrial designers, engineers, and visual thinkers who aren’t afraid to get technical — or get their hands dirty. We care deeply about materials, manufacturing realities, and the long view. That means building products people actually want to use, keep, and talk about.
We’re based in British Columbia and work with clients across North America and beyond. Whether you're a first-time founder or an innovation lead at a global brand, we meet you where you’re at — and help take your idea further.

FAQ
Short answers to common questions—if you're wondering, you’re not alone.
Yes—prototyping is a core part of how we work. Whether it's a quick mockup or a fully functional build, we use prototypes to test, refine, and make sure your product works in the real world—not just on paper.
While we focus on design and prototyping, we always design with production in mind. Once the project wraps, we’ll hand off everything your manufacturer needs—including 3D CAD files, drawings, and specs. Need help finding the right manufacturer? We’ve got contacts, and we’re happy to make the intro.
We work with startups, solo inventors, established brands—you name it. Some clients come to us with a clear plan; others with a napkin sketch. Either way, we tailor our approach to fit your goals and where you’re at in your product journey.
Our workshops are focused, collaborative sessions designed to spark ideas, solve problems, or kickstart a product. Whether you’re stuck on a concept or exploring new directions, we bring our brains and process to the table to move things forward. Great for founders, teams, or anyone facing a design challenge.
Absolutely. Any idea you bring to us is yours, and once the project is complete and paid in full, the final deliverables we’ve developed together are yours too. We kick things off by sending our mutual NDA—so everything stays protected from day one. While the tools and internal processes we use remain ours, we’re always happy to clarify how IP and ownership work at any stage of the project.
Boost your brand with design that makes an impact. You talk, we listen.
