The product development process — from idea to impact
Intro
Great products don’t happen by chance. They’re the result of a thoughtful, step-by-step development process. At HeijltjesAkkaya, we help guide ideas through every stage — from sketch to scalable product.
Our process at a glance
Research & discovery
We dive into user needs, context, and constraints. Every product starts with understanding.Concept & design
We generate ideas, evaluate directions, and shape them into testable concepts.Prototyping & testing
We make it real — in cardboard, 3D print, or full-scale mock-up. Then we test, iterate, and refine.Engineering & detailing
We translate design into parts, materials, and manufacturable systems.Production preparation
We support you in sourcing, documentation, and liaising with manufacturers.
Why this matters
A clear process reduces risk, saves time, and leads to better outcomes. It ensures your product doesn’t just look good, but works well and lasts long.
Built to adapt
No two projects are the same. Our process flexes based on your timeline, budget, and goals — but always keeps the user and function at its core.
