  • DESCRIPTION

    Discover the best industrial designers for your product ideas! Industrial designers are responsible for taking your product idea and turning it into a clear set of specifications for a factory to produce. Our comprehensive list of experienced professionals will help you take your concept from concept to reality.

    Industrial designers work mainly on functional products, hard goods, devices, electronics, wearables, custom packaging, luggage, bags, custom hardware, jewelry and accessories and much more. They may also work on products that have mixed materials, such as an item that combines wood, plastic or metal with and fabric. We've compiled a list of our favorite designers across a range of product types. Use it to find the partner who will take you from 0 to 1 and bring your idea to life!

    The Industrial Designer List features 15 designers in the USA and China. 

    If you have an item that is simpler and made purely from fabric  (ex: socks, a bathing suit, or a pillow case) you would work with what's called a Technical Designer or a Patternmaker - see that list here.

Resource FAQ’s

  • What information do factory lists contain?

    Factory lists include the name of the factory, general capabilities, geographic location, website/profile page, preferred contact method, and required MOQ's (minimum order quantities), if this information is offered by the factory. Some factories require that you connect with them directly to discuss minimums.

  • How do you choose the factories that go on your lists?

    We connect with factories in many different ways including in-person visits, industry contacts, trade shows and more. Suppliers do not pay to be included on our lists.

    It is important to note that vetting a specific supplier for quality, price, and professionalism is ultimately your responsibility. If you need help narrowing down your supplier choices, the Supplier Vetting Checklist is a helpful resource. You can also use the Pre-Production Checklist to ensure you take the right steps prior to production and protect your investment.

  • Am I guaranteed to find a factory when I buy a factory list?

    There is no guarantee you will find a specific factory when you buy our Factory Lists. If you have questions about a particular list, feel free to email hi@makeruniversity.com.

  • What is different about your Factory Lists compared to other lists that are available?

    Our lists do not focus on just one country. You will find suppliers from all over the world! We also have a strong focus on small batch manufacturing to serve newer makers.

    Each list is designed to be an all-in-one resource for manufacturing your product idea. Factory lists include bonus sublists to help you produce your product completely, including design partners, materials and component suppliers, packaging suppliers and more. Read the description of each list to see what is included.

  • What if I want to return a resource?

    We do not accept returns on informational products. If you have questions about a resource you purchased, please email hi@makeruniversity.com.
