Services
Offering the following extraordinary services:
Confidentiality
It all starts with a bombproof confidentiality contract, and we cater to meet your standards. We integrate with your patent process to ensure that your patents are solid and accurately reflect the finished product.
Documentation
Our documentation begins with the first conversation. We document all conversations, transactions, developments, and time spent on your project and provide you with a copy of our paper trail upon completion of the project.
Research
Wookey Design Studio will perform patent searches, and conduct market research that will assist in identifying the market opportunities, and allow us to leverage our design skills effectively in to your market. We provide written reports of our findings and can liaise with your patent attorney to make sure the road ahead is clear.
Brief Development
We will draft the design brief that will become the guiding framework for the project. The Design Brief is the cornerstone for your project and Wookey Design Studio spends the time needed to get it right.
Conceptualization
We will help flesh out your idea and develop your design brief. It is always smart to use a well established company like Wookey Design Studio as a design sounding board. We will help you fit your new concept into the big picture, and develop a product that will have a large impact on your key markets.
Visualization
The visualization process is the first step in bringing your product to life. Wookey Design Studio spends a significant amount of time rendering your product on paper to ensure that your concept is accurately represented. Wookey provides scale drawings and engineering plans detailing your design. These renderings are essential in moving your ideas from the napkin phase to a prototype.
Modeling
We use these drawings in addition to your original concept to make a three-dimensional model of your product. This model is then photographed, and can then be further embellished in computer simulations. Full-scale realistic models can then be generated and compared with the drawings.
Pattern Drafting
Patterns for your product are drafted directly from the model, ensuring proper relationship of seam elements and integrity of the design. The patterns are drafted by hand to ensure accuracy and are translated to professional pattern drafting software that can be integrated with a nesting program and cutting equipment.
Prototyping
The prototype will be nearly identical to the model but will be a fully usable product. This is your generation one prototype. This product can be modified before or after beta testing.
Beta Testing
We offer a range of beta testing solutions. Wookey can beta test in house or we can contract with professional testers. Regardless of your budget and time frame, we will provide feedback needed to bring your product closer to market.
Technology
With the accelerated state of developing technologies in the textile world, who can keep up? Wookey Design Studio can, and we have our collective fingers on the pulse. We are constantly working with hot air welding, RF welding, ultrasonic welding, dye sublimation, die and laser cutting, advanced glues, lamination, thermal molding and advanced sewing techniques and machinery.
Raw Material Development
You will utilize our vast knowledge base of existing raw materials and our strong relationships with fabric designers, mills, and wholesalers to provide you with the fabric and raw materials that you need. Wookey will create new and novel materials, laminated and calendared fabrics, and custom weaves. Need a new buckle? We will provide CAD drawings, prototypes, cavity creation, and production of your idea. Big buckle? No problem, we have access to high-volume injection molding machines.
Graphic Design and Commercialization
Wookey will work with your marketing department to ensure that the style of your product is in alignment with your brand values and design signature. We will also provide graphic design, illustration, logo art and custom embroidery to fit the product into your line.
Manufacture Sourcing
Wookey has access to hundreds of manufacturing facilities both domestic and abroad. We can help you decide which manufacturer is right for you and assist with counter sample production inspection and delivery. Once the counter-samples have been approved, we can provide on-site manufacturing quality control at the factory to ensure that the integrity of the product and quality of the manufacturing is maintained.
