When ODM Is the Right Model

ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) is the right engagement when your brand has a clear retail vision but lacks in-house industrial design resources. We translate your brief + brand mood board + reference samples into production-ready engineered fixtures. This is the dominant model for DTC-to-retail transitions (brands like Kosas, Saie, Merit) and indie beauty brands without in-house design. 150+ indie beauty brand designs engineered since 2018. Our ODM process protects your IP: engineering IP licensed to you, tooling owned by your brand account, no shared-use with other brands.
