Industrial Design | Industrial Designers

Industrial design, also known as product design is the process of identifying, investigating, and validating the problem, and crafting a design that solves that problem. Industrial design involves a cross-section of skills, including graphic and visual design skills, user research, data analysis, prototype design, and business strategy.

industrials designers are effectively a cross between a mechanical engineer and an artist. They study function and form, and how a user connects to a product. They typically do not design moving parts (like gears) but will work to optimize the appearance, function and value of products.

You should document your requirements in writing. On crowdspring, we take you through a proven questionnaire to help our industrial designers understand your requirements. You can upload sketches, inspirations or other files to help people get started.

Crowdspring industrial designers are experienced designers and are comfortable working with many different file formats, including CAD and CAM models

Yes! Every project on crowdspring is protected by a customized legal agreement that transfers to the client full rights to the industrial design, once you approve the final files and we pay the product designer.

Yes! In fact, this happens frequently on crowdspring. Our designers are exceptionally good at what they do and clients will often post projects with multiple awards or make offers for other industrial designs they like.

Yes. You control the privacy of your project. You can select closed galleries (where only you see all the designs), can require designers to sign non-disclosure agreements before you admit them to the project, can keep your project out of search engines, and can create both public and private briefs to hide your future product from competitors.

The industrial designers on crowdspring have helped companies of all sizes with industrial design. We've worked with big Brands like LG, Barilla, and many others, as well as many entrepreneurs and small businesses in the U.S. and around the world.

The simple answer is because they can. Industrial design is a complex art, combining many different disciplines. Historically, you had to pay tens of thousands and often, hundreds of thousands of dollars for industrial design. Companies like Apple invest billions of dollars in industrial design. But crowdspring has leveled the playing field, allowing companies of all sizes to design products for a tiny fraction of the cost charged by traditional industrial design agencies.

We continue to be amazed with the breadth of the industrial design projects our community has done. Many of these projects are protected by NDAs so we can't publicly talk about them or show you the work from those projects, but industrial design projects have included the design of mobile phones, watches, appliances, electronic equipment, clothing, tools, sports equipment, and many more products.

Crowdspring guarantees your satisfaction in industrial design projects. There's NO fine-print. We are not happy until you are. People are so thrilled with the designs they receive on crowdspring that we are proud to stand behind the work and make you an unconditional promise.
