Why fresco

Developing products that companies and their users can count on.

We take on the challenges of product development and support your team at every stage. Our industrial designers and engineers build, test, and iterate daily, working directly with you to bring world-class, human-centered products to life.

Senior expertise

With an average of 14 yrs experience, our multi-disciplinary team delivers excellence. We create designs that are innovative, user-focused, and production-ready.

Body-first design

Great ergonomics is a hard skill, and we master it. Every product decision is informed by the human body and the user, with ergonomic principles, tools, and data applied early.

Certainty through prototyping

We prototype daily in our model shops, testing, iterating, rethinking, and de-risking designs to unlock bold, precise solutions.

Manufacturable by design

Decades of design for manufacturing experience ensures products can be built with ease, at scale, and will perform reliably for their users.

Co-creation & transparency

Daily project visibility, shared work, and documentation foster true collaboration, alignment, and efficiency with your team.

We engaged Fresco to fill a gap in industrial and user centered design, but quickly realized their experience in engineering, materials, and design for manufacturability. This created high efficiency in our design and development and made Fresco an invaluable resource for our team.

We wouldn't have hit our launch timelines without Fresco. They’re the best surface modelers out there. All super sharp designers and engineers with experience and hustle. I hope they continue to stay a part of our team as a flexible resource for the long run.

Daniel Lee

CEO & Co-Founder, Lumia

With Fresco, what stood out from day one was the in-person interaction with Gustavo and Danielle. Before we even started working together, they sat down with us, saw how we worked, listened, and really understood what we needed. It was incredibly valuable. We developed a close working relationship with their design and engineering team. It was a true collaboration from beginning to end.

CEO & Co-Founder, Transaera

Their creativity, efficiency, and dependability greatly contributed to the success of the challenging task of integrating BCI into a consumer product. Collaborating with them was easy and fun.

Jamie Alders

Vice President of Product, Neurable

Aside from getting projects done on time and at higher than expected quality levels, we've benefited tremendously from the new ideas spawned through the Fresco creative process, helping us to develop and differentiate multiple new products.

Common questions about Fresco Design.

What makes Fresco different from other industrial design firms?

Fresco’s multi-disciplinary team includes experts in product innovation, industrial design, UX, ergonomics, engineering, prototyping, DFM, and supplier sourcing. Our designers understand how products are made, and our engineers understand design intent. We build and test often. The result is informed decisions, faster progress, and better products.

Does Fresco work with startups or established companies?

Both. For established companies, we work as an extension of their internal team, bringing specialized expertise or additional capacity where needed.

For startups, our team brings decades of experience developing and launching products. We provide close guidance, leading them through the entire process, including critical decisions that establish brand presence, maximize user adoption, and de-risk product launch.

At what stage of product development should we bring Fresco in?

Fresco can add value at any stage, from front-end innovation and identifying market opportunities, through design, engineering, user testing, and design for manufacturing. Some clients bring us in for the full journey; others need focused expertise to solve a specific challenge, strengthen an internal team, or move through a critical phase.

Who owns the IP and designs Fresco creates?

You do. Fresco is a work-for-hire design and development firm, so all project-specific designs, CAD, engineering development, documentation, and intellectual property we create for you belongs to you, as outlined in our project agreements.

Will your deliverables give me everything I need to be ready for manufacturing?

In a full development effort, final deliverables include tooling-ready part designs and CAD, supporting engineering drawings with specified tolerances, material and finish specifications and samples, BOMs, and manufacturing requirements.

Fresco also offers manufacturing liaison support to advocate for your product and ensure design intent and quality are maintained through production.

Is there a minimum project size or budget to work with Fresco?

No. Project scope and budgets vary widely, from focused design sprints to full product development programs.

We’ll work with you to define the right scope based on your product, goals, and development needs. For longer programs, we recommend starting with a focused Phase 1 before engaging in a broader development effort.
