So, you’re ready to bring your mind-blowing ideas to life?
Well, you’ve landed in the right place!
At Product Design Lab, we’re not just your average product design studio - we’re the wizards behind turning dreams into tangible prototypes.
Picture this: you’ve got this game-changing idea, but you’re stuck on how to make it real. That’s where we come in. We’re here to bridge the gap between concept and reality, crafting prototypes that are functional, aesthetic, and ready to blow your investors’ socks off.
But hey, don’t just take our word for it. Dr Joseph Po, co-founder & COO of Spira Health, can vouch for us:
Product Design Lab was so good to work with… You want something fast, cost-effective, AND trustworthy? Go with these guys. It’s hard not to be optimistic when you find someone who can deliver on all of that and craft a sleek and fully-functional device.”
“We considered bringing a biomedical engineer in-house because we wanted to work with someone who really understood our vision and business. What we found was Product Design Lab ticked all those boxes.”
Don’t let the tech get in the way of your idea
We get it - navigating the technical side of things can be daunting. It’s no secret investors love technical co-founders. And it makes sense. If they’re backing up your vision with their money, they want to feel confident you can come through with the product.
But the tech people aren’t always the ideas people, and we know that. That’s where we come in.
You don’t need a technical co-founder when you’ve got us in your corner.

Now the real fun begins! Embracing an agile approach, we'll sprint through two-week cycles, rapidly prototyping and iterating on core features. Starting with Minimum Testable Units (MTUs) for each feature, we’ll dance through iterations refining and combining these until we have a pre-final prototype that sings.

Frequently
asked questions
They helped me to bring my product from a concept to something physical, functional, and beautiful which ‘wowed’ my users, partners, and investors. Being handed my proof-of-concept device was huge. The thing I’d dreamed of was suddenly a reality.
-
How long do you take?Most projects take between 9 - 16 weeks to go from concept right the way through to investor-ready prototype. Depending on the scope of work, some projects may take longer or shorter, but we'll give you a clear timeline estimate upfront.
-
How much does it cost?Depending on the scope of the project, to take an idea from Concept through to Investor Ready Prototype typically costs between $30k-$60k. Startups may be able to claim up to 43.5% of our fee back though, through the government’s R&D tax incentive, which is nice!

-
Who owns the IP?You! Once the project is paid for, all project IP is transferred directly to you.
-
Can you really build my prototype?If we don’t 100% believe we can, we’ll be upfront. We like seeing our clients succeed and we don’t believe in making promises we can’t keep.
-
Why are you guys better than the big firms for prototyping?We’re a smaller studio with a tight-knit team dedicated to making your dreams a reality. This means we can be more collaborative, and nimble, all while making your development dollar go a lot further. And hey, our clients seem to think we're pretty nice to work with too.
