At Stratus Design, we transform product development challenges into market successes through a unique fusion of Human Factors, Industrial Design, and Mechanical Engineering. Our process is tailored to the medical/life sciences device industry and other regulated fields.

Our approach to the user driven development process goes beyond traditional concept design testing and evaluation. We begin with the human factor, understanding the motivations and nuances of the users. We analyze their interactions, environmental factors, and how they navigate challenges by conducting Contextual Inquiries, revealing critical insights often missed by other methods.
This exploratory research informs our design process, allowing us to arrive at marketable solutions faster, save on development costs and expedite successful project completion. It also feeds into use requirement documentation for a smoother regulatory approval path.

We do not compartmentalize our development teams into their respective fields. Our team members are experienced across all disciplines and collaborate actively in discovery and design activities to form a holistic view of the users, use environments and their demands. This team synergy informs an aligned perspective and an empathetic understanding of the user.
The result is an accelerated and holistic design system, requiring fewer concept iterations that lead to stronger user satisfaction and product marketability.

Our team of industry veterans shares a passion for each other’s specialties, merging them into a proven, cohesive process that delivers superior results.
As a small and focused team, we avoid the bureaucracy of larger firms, maintaining high standards of excellence. We are your A-team, ready to leverage our expertise and partner with companies committed to excellence.
