      A friend referred me to Revelation after they had helped them with their healthy snack brand.

We felt the Revelation group did a great job with all of the branding and marketing brief creation along with guiding us on how to stand out in our space.

      We are a brand-new start-up preparing to bring our very first food and beverage product to the US market. From the moment I connected with Fernanda on a CPG-focused Slack group she has been a wealth of knowledge and an incredible resource. We were looking for guidance around claims and packaging design and she conducted a Graphic Compliance Audit for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and her notes and suggestions were very helpful. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

      Web Design Review from Thomas Naylor

      The Twistag team was talented, thoughtful and great to work with. Going to Lisbon to meet the team to work through key questions, and then have a great meal to celebrate the progress, was a highlight. From the design of the logo, branding, UI, UX, to the coding and implementation of the complex functionality in hifo (https://hifo.co) - working with Twistag made the development process a fulfilling and rewarding experience. In particular, the support that I had from Twistag in working through the nuances of functional requirements, and then agreeing on the right approach, and fulfilling the brief as agreed, underlined the success of the project. Above all, I really enjoyed working with the Twistag team - and indeed continue to work with Twistag for further stages in development.

Their key services include:

  • Product strategy and discovery: Accounting for over 39% of revenue share in 2023, this concerns defining what product to build and why, based on market demand, business goals, and user needs. It includes market research, product positioning, concept validation, and early-stage product development planning.
  • UX research and user experience (UX Design): Understanding user behavior and designing experiences that are intuitive and efficient, relying on UX research, usability testing, journey mapping, and behavior analysis for digital products and services.
  • Industrial design: Designing physical products with a focus on usability, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It includes form development, ergonomics, materials selection, and collaboration with industrial designers.
  • Engineering and technical design: Translating design concepts into functional, manufacturable solutions using engineering principles, including mechanical engineering, system architecture, feasibility analysis, and design for manufacturing.
  • CAD modeling and prototyping: Product designers create digital and physical models to test, refine, and validate product concepts before production.
  • Branding, visual, and experience design: Aligning the product with a cohesive brand identity and consistent user experience across all touchpoints, while relying on graphic design, packaging, and integration with digital marketing and web development.
  • Product launch, optimization, and growth: Supporting the product after design to ensure successful launch and continuous improvement.

How much do product design services cost?

The cost of hiring product design companies varies widely depending on scope, complexity, and the level of expertise.

Product design firms typically charge $100-$450 per hour for full-service work that includes UX design, engineering, and product development.

Project-based pricing:

  • Small projects (e.g., concept design, UX audit): $5,000-$15,000
  • Mid-size projects, such as UX/UI design for a mobile app or web platform: $30,000-$100,000
  • End-to-end product development: $100,000+

What's the difference between product design, industrial design, and UX design?

The best product design agencies combine all three into a collaborative approach, ensuring your product is functional, manufacturable, intuitive, and competitive in the market.

Are there hidden costs I should be aware of when hiring product designers?

Yes, you may expect some additional or hidden costs, although most reputable product design companies will present clear pricing.

According to the Project Management Institute, projects with unclear requirements are 2-3 times more likely to exceed budget and timelines. 

Cost category  Estimated cost range
Scope creep and extra iterations 10% to 30% of the total project budget
UX research and testing $5,000-$25,000+ per round
Prototyping and engineering work  $2,000-$50,000+
Third-party tools and integrations  $500-$5,000+ per project
Post-launch support and updates  $5,000-$15,000+ per month
Manufacturing preparation $10,000-$100,000+

The best designers with proven expertise will be transparent about these factors and help you plan for the true cost of product design, instead of just the initial estimate. 

What should I look for in a product design firm's portfolio?

When evaluating an agency portfolio, you're assessing whether the team can deliver measurable business outcomes, handle complexity, and align with your product goals.

Therefore, look for the following:

  1. Proven business impact: Look for case studies that show measurable results. A strong case study might show a 30-50% increase in conversion rates after UX redesign or a 20% reduction in churn for a SaaS product.
  2. End-to-end product design process: Top product designers should demonstrate a complete design process, starting from research, through ideation, prototyping, and testing, to launch. 
  3. Depth in UX research and user-centered design: A strong portfolio should show how the team understands user needs. High-quality projects often include 5-10 user interviews per testing round, which is standard for identifying most usability issues.
  4. Experience with similar product types or industries: An agency with 3-5 similar projects in your space is more likely to understand constraints and speed up delivery.
  5. Technical capability and engineering integration: A strong portfolio should show evidence of CAD modeling, prototyping, or engineering work, integration with mechanical engineering or development teams. 
  6. Complexity and problem-solving ability: A renowned product design studio showcases how it solves complex challenges. Projects involving multiple user roles or workflows indicate higher capability.

How do product design companies measure success?

They measure success based on real business impact, user experience, and product performance: 

  1. User experience (UX design) performance 
    Measured through usability metrics like task success rate, time-on-task, and user satisfaction. Better UX can improve task completion rates by up to 80%, according to Nielsen Norman Group. 
  2. Conversion and revenue growth 
    Design improvements are tracked through conversion rates, sales, and funnel performance. Small UX changes can increase conversions by 10–25%, according to Forrester. 
  3. User engagement and retention 
    Active users, session duration, and churn rate show how well the product meets user needs. PwC reports that UX improvements can boost retention by up to 30%
  4. Time-to-market and efficiency 
    A strong design process reduces delays and rework. Companies with mature design practices can cut development time by up to 50%, according to McKinsey. 
  5. Product adoption and market fit 
    Success is measured by how quickly users adopt the product and how often key features are used. 
  6. Return on investment (ROI) 
    Design is evaluated based on revenue growth and cost savings. Design-led companies achieve 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher shareholder returns, according to McKinsey.

What is the typical timeline for a product design project?

The timeline for a product design project depends on the scope and complexity, as well as whether you're building digital or physical products.

Most product design firms follow a structured timeline ranging from a few weeks to several months, as presented in the table below.

Phase Timeline Process
