BE THE NEXT PRODUCT ENTREPRENEUR

D2 design is an Australian industrial design studio based in Melbourne. We simplify and de-risk hardware ventures. Get to market earlier, scale your business, build your vision and leave a legacy.

Don't die with the idea still in you. Leave a legacy.

Hardware is hard.

Do you feel frustrated not knowing how to execute your idea?

Are you experiencing roadblocks on your journey?

Does working on your idea bring you into a world of the unknown?

You don't have to feel this way, you can learn the hard way or follow our unique design methodology for entrepreneurs and founders.

This methodology has earned over $200M in revenue for our clients.

  • Consulting

    D2 design is a Melbourne based industrial design studio with a zest of French flair. We do consulting for serial entrepreneurs.

  • Mentoring

    Not all ventures need a designer as a consultant. Sometimes, a mentor's role is enough to get you where you need to go.

Working with us

Working with a designer is an investment. At D2 design, we are aware of that, and we work on a partnership basis so that our goals are aligned. You won't be left with a design you can't manufacture or sell.

We have been working with serial entrepreneurs and founders for over twenty-eight years. We know that you want more than just a designer: you want someone by your side to start on your idea and then scale with your business.

Our director, Philippe, has created a unique product development methodology in three steps to help you move from an idea to a business. This methodology is the essence of our industrial design studio in Australia.
