Bring Your Product Vision to Life

At Northern Sky, industrial design is about more than aesthetics, it’s about creating products that people love to use and that make sense to produce. We combine trend research, form exploration, and materials expertise to deliver designs that are intentional, functional, and market-ready.

Concept Ideation & Research

We explore creative directions grounded in market insight, ensuring your product concepts are relevant, differentiated, and aligned with user needs.

Market and trend analysis
Sketching and visual concept boards
Consumer and category research

Form Development & CMF Strategy

We refine product form and define color, material, and finish details to balance aesthetics, usability, and manufacturability.

2D form refinement and proportion studies
Ergonomic and human factors evaluation
CMF palette creation and material sourcing

3D CAD & Design Intent

We translate refined concepts into 3D CAD models and specifications ready for prototype development and manufacturer review.

CAD modeling for visualization and presentation
Design intent CAD with preliminary DFM considerations
Exploded views and assembly documentation
