Sustainable industrial design for durable products
ANCORD Design Co is a sustainable industrial design studio based in Victoria, BC, working with outdoor, action sports, and durable consumer product brands across North America.
We specialize in production-ready design — not concept art. Our work sits at the intersection of industrial design, mechanical engineering, and sustainable product development. Every project is grounded in research before concepts begin, and every design decision is validated against manufacturing reality before it's called production-ready.
What we do:
Design Research — structured discovery sprints that derisk product investment before concept work begins
Industrial Design — form development, ergonomics, CMF, and product architecture for physical goods
Design for Manufacturing — tooling review, process selection, and supplier-facing specifications
Prototyping — in-house 3D printing and external vendor coordination through production validation
Branding — product naming, packaging, and visual identity for client products
Consulting — sustainability audits, material selection, DFM reviews, IP landscape analysis
We work through three engagement models: focused R&D Sprints (2–4 weeks), multi-month Development Projects, and Embedded Innovation Partnerships for ongoing product development.
Sustainability is treated as an engineering constraint, not a marketing claim. We hold Green Leader status with BC Green Business and Water Friendly Business certification. Our work has contributed to measurable outcomes including 350,000+ toothbrushes diverted from landfill and patent-pending sustainable product systems.
We're selective about the work we take on. We prioritize projects aligned with durability, performance, and sustainability — and we qualify scope and fit before sending proposals.
ANCORD Design Co is praised for delivering high-quality work that fits client budgets, offering great value for cost. Clients noted prompt communication and timely delivery, enhancing overall satisfaction.
"They communicated frequently via email and managed expectations on timing throughout the project."

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
ANCORD fixed the render files for our pouches, then built an eight-view render system for our Family Pack box from our dieline, so we can swap artwork face by face, plus a hang-hole toggle for retailer listings. They diagnosed the file issue a day after getting it, delivered when they said they would, and took an extra step to rebuild the file for me when I got stuck. The renders look so good, the directions were clear, and the 15-minute walkthrough at the end was exactly what I needed.

A tourism destination company hired ANCORD Design Co to provide 3D rendering services. The team was responsible for creating photorealistic 3D renderings of a glass cube feature using only technical drawings.
ANCORD Design Co's 3D renderings were so accurate that the final photos looked exactly like the renders, which were used for the client's PR and out-of-home campaign. Moreover, ANCORD Design Co was prompt, responsive, consistently on schedule, and a pleasure to work with throughout the engagement.

What specific goals or objectives did you hire ANCORD Design Co to accomplish?
ANCORD produced photorealistic 3D renderings of our new glass cube feature, The Overhang, before it was built, working only from technical drawings. The visuals were so accurate that once the cube was constructed and photographed, the final photos looked almost exactly like the renders. People genuinely couldn't believe they weren't real. The assets carried our public launch, including our PR and out-of-home campaign. Prompt, responsive, and always on schedule. A pleasure to work with.
