Welcome to the PDD Blog
Notes from the workshop floor. What we are learning about product design, engineering, and getting real things made.
By PDD Consult

We have spent more than a decade turning sketches into products you can hold. This is where we will write some of that down.
What you will find here
Short, practical notes. The kind of thing we wish we had read earlier.
- How a shape goes from foam block to tooling
- Why the first prototype is rarely the one that ships
- The small material decisions that decide whether a product feels cheap or considered
Why bother
Good product work is mostly hidden. The decisions that matter happen long before anyone sees a render. We want to show a little more of that, in plain language.
More soon.
