Design PoiseDesign Poise

How we work

Five steps, no surprises.

01
Discover

A working session on goals, constraints and success criteria — free, and useful even if we never work together.

02
Scope

A fixed statement of work: deliverables, dates, price, and the IP tier you choose up front.

03
Design & build

Senior-led execution in review loops you can see — concepts, CAD, code, systems.

04
Validate

Structured testing and field validation so problems surface with us, not with customers.

05
Deliver & support

Release-ready handoff — controlled files, documentation, training — with support after.

The IP model

You decide who owns the IP.

Choose your tier before work starts — lower fees with a licensed build, or full IP transfer with zero royalties.

Licensed build

Lowest upfront fee. Design Poise retains IP; you get a commercial license with a revenue royalty.

Full transfer

Highest upfront fee. Complete IP transfer at completion — zero royalties, total ownership.

Why Design Poise

What makes Design Poise unique.

Senior-led, always

No junior delegation. Every engagement is led by a practitioner who shipped for Alienware, Dell, Fossil, Lowe's and Load King.

Proven, awarded work

Red Dot Award. Best of CES. DaVinci Product of the Year. US Patent 8,959,693 — sole inventor. IDSA member.

One studio, full stack

Design, mechanical engineering, software, cybersecurity and enterprise systems under one roof — no hand-off gaps.

Your IP, your tier

A two-tier IP model you choose up front — from lowest-fee licensed builds to full IP transfer with zero royalties.

Fixed statements of work

Scope, price and dates agreed before we start — no hourly meter running.
