Project Checklist

Every project we take on starts with a conversation about what you want to make and where it is headed, and the checklist below outlines the details that help shape that conversation. You don't need to have every item resolved before getting in touch, as many brands come to us with some areas well defined and others still open.

Knowing where each one stands allows our team to scope, cost and schedule your project accurately from the outset, and to guide you through the decisions that remain as development progresses.

Getting Started

When you're ready to begin, send through what you have via the project form, along with any tech packs, sketches or reference images that help us understand the product. A brief that is still taking shape is a perfectly good place to start, and we will work through the remaining items together on an initial call so that your project moves into sampling with a clear foundation in place.
