Who we are
Branch 1 Designs is a family and veteran-owned product design and development services firm founded to help clients achieve market success with their new products. The team combines experience in mechanical engineering, product design, systems engineering, and business and data analysis to provide a unique, multidisciplinary approach when working with our clients.
Whether you are looking for help analyzing the feasibility of a new product, assistance with developing your first prototypes, or preparing your designs and processes for full-scale manufacturing, our team is excited to work alongside you.
Contracting us isn’t just about getting outside help. We pride ourselves on being true teammates and partners, committed not only to contract completion but to seeing others succeed. Our mission-oriented culture means we provide you the flexibility of a mercenary with the loyalty of a zealot. We ride for the brand—your brand—and won’t stop until you are satisfied with your outcomes.
Our Approach
Don’t get us wrong, we love acronyms as much as anyone. But we know that success doesn’t come from one specific framework, theory, or methodology.
Instead, it comes from understanding your external environment and internal capabilities and then working relentlessly to meet your customer’s needs by leveraging what makes you great. It means making the right thing, the right way.
Depending on the service, we’ll leverage a variety of industry-recognized techniques, from various market analysis frameworks to technical processes like Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and hazard and stress analysis for physical products. We can Scrum, iterate, and Six Sigma with the best of them, but these are only tools, not a way of life.
Working with us means being committed to the fundamentals that drive product design and development. No matter how you get there, a well-made product with a solid business case will win. We look forward to helping you win.
