Design & Manufacturing that Works
in the Real World

NorthSky helps founders, SMEs, and investors bring manufacturable, scalable products to life – fast.

What We Do

At NorthSky Design, we bring together strategic thinking, hands-on design, and real-world manufacturing insight to turn ideas into commercially viable products – quickly, intelligently, and without the corporate waffle.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, scaling an existing product line, or rethinking your approach entirely, we plug in where you need us most.

We turn ideas into production-ready products – fast. From concept sketches to detailed CAD, prototyping, and design for manufacturability, everything we do is grounded in real-world insight and commercial logic.

We help you make the right moves early – blending commercial insight with technical know-how. From go-to-market planning to de-risking supply chains, our strategy work is built to support real business outcomes.

Clear, honest advice rooted in real-world product and manufacturing experience. We support founders, teams, and investors with strategic insight that drives smarter decisions and avoids costly missteps.

We bridge the gap between design and production – helping you build smarter, avoid costly mistakes, and get products made right. From tooling to supplier engagement, we support every step of the manufacturing process.

We provide sharp, experienced insight to help VCs, boards, and innovation teams make confident product decisions. From technical due diligence to opportunity mapping, we cut through the noise with advice that actually moves things forward.

Who We Are

NorthSky was founded by two friends with one simple belief: product development is a business function first – its purpose is to drive growth and profitability.
