Extremely fast response and reliable information from the beginning!
Intrigued to hear what the outcome of my submissions are.
A cautionary tale
I wouldn’t go as far as saying that innovate design is a scam because I do think they could be a useful support to the right person/business.
However, if you are an average joe like myself that has an idea that they need support to get into fruition then you need to approach with caution.
YOU will be expected to cover all costs in getting your project completed, including a £400 market research spreadsheet which I could have done myself and avoided paying that which in this climate is a lot of money.
Especially when it’s time to come to the next stage of branding which is going to be around £3000 and once that’s completed you are going to be expected to pay for the manufacturing of this product which could be tens of thousands of pounds. So before you pay 400 of your hard earned money for a PowerPoint presentation..
Ask yourself whether your idea is promising enough that you are going to pay upwards of tens of thousands of pounds to get your project off the ground.
Again, I don’t think it’s a scam but Innovate Design, do need to be more transparent on the stages and payments required before taking people’s hard earned money from them.
It is apparent that they were just out to get my money from the get go as they haven’t bothered to chase up ‘my excellent’ idea since I clarified I would not be able to fork out the thousands required.
Does leave a bad taste in your mouth, I would really hate for someone else to make the same mistake I did.
A must for anyone attempting to launch a product.
The pack came quickly and was very informative and reassuring. I was happy to continue with my idea and was happy to submit it knowing I was in good hands. A very positive step forward in these early days of this project. I am so grateful for trusted assistance. I recommend using Innovative Designs wholeheartedly.
Amazing design consultancy
I had an amazing experience with Innovate Design! From start to finish, the team was professional, creative, and incredibly responsive. They truly listened to my ideas and brought them to life even better than I imagined. The quality of their work and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch design services!
A special thanks to Emma (my coach) and Gabriel (my designer) who made this dream a reality.

You'll be in good hands with Innovate Design
I had an invention, a gardening machine, and I needed someone to develop it for me. Innovate Design looked a safe bet, with praise and recommendations from the press and from Lord Sugar. They were well established and their literature inspired confidence.
What I found was that you work together. Two, or more, heads are better than one. Innovation coach Thomas Kelly brought up points about the invention that I hadn't considered, and designer Sean Irving did brilliant work turning the basic idea into a well-functioning piece of machinery, with changes and experiments along the way, always consulting me or keeping me informed. He produced impressive computer images of the machine as it will be in reality. And, all along , the invention remains entirely mine. At the time of writing this, I have begun the patent application process. I recommend Innovate Design to anyone seeking help with a creative idea.
Security of Proposal
The reassurance that my ideas would be treated with confidence and that genuine assistance would be provided.
Great company for great ideas
